So, I bid on and won a Micron Xceed grayscale neck-board for the SE/30 from Buyee a week or so ago. I knew I was taking a chance, but the price was good. And besides I figured, it's really mostly just a bunch of wires; it won't be a problem to ship, right?

Wrong.

Thanks these stupid anti-vintage tech policies, I got this notice from Buyee:

Seeing as all it is is a bunch of wires and a simple circuit board, I didn't think it would be a problem. I will also admit that I bought it in hast, without really take a look at it and the fact that it is mostly just a standard neck board. However, the original software, cool Micron boxes, and manuals would be nice to have....especially since I already paid for them. If nothing else, it would be nice to see some other resolution than all of this going to a landfill.

@JDW-I've heard that you have helped a few other people in similar situations!

@mmaseda - Good to know that at least I can still get the rest of it. What did you have to tell them so that they would do that? Or will they just automatically dispose of the offending parts, and send me the rest?

They gave me an option to dispose of the banned items and ship the rest. When I get home tonight I’ll send you the message from them.
