John, Think long and hard before you get rid of your Synergistics on ebay! Financial gain aside why would you do it? In a few decades the infant hobby of computer software collecting might turn into a mature, mainstream hobby. By selling these titles you would be removing a direct link to the very beginning of the hobby. How many hobbies can you think of where acquiring first generation artifacts is possible?
These games are also a link to the state of the industry at the beginning of your career, as well as the state of the art. Keep them as pristine and innocent markers of a very exciting era.
