[rescue] Any interest in NeXT kit?

I think it's time for me to stop keeping what remaining NeXT kit I
still have.
At the moment, this means some cables. I'm not sure how much else I
may have, but I want to get things out of here and I think I'm unlikely
to ever use these cables. (If I do end up having any other NeXT
hardware on offer, I'll post about it separately.)
This means:
- Four short (about 50cm) and two long (about 3m) mono video cables.
These are the ones with the odd (nonstandard as far as I know)
19-pin D-sub connector on each end - two pin-pairs longer than a DA
but three pin-pairs shorter than a DB.
- One partial cable which looks as though I cut a mono video cable in
order to connect directly to the various signals. (I have found
only one of the (presumably) two resulting pieces.)
- One splitter cable, three connectors. The common connector is a
13W3, mechanically identical to the 13W3s I'm used to from Sun, SGI,
etc. One of the other connectors is another 13W3; the other is
mechanically identical to the 19-pin mono video connector. The
13W3-13W3 cable is (almost?) exactly the same length as the short
mono video cables; the 13W3-D?19 cable is a few inches longer.
- One DE-9 to DE-9 cable. I haven't buzzed this out, so I don't know
its pinout, but the ends are the same sex and marked identically, so
it probably is symmetric. Like the long mono video cables, it is
about 3m long.
I suspect the last cable isn't for serial - using DE-9 for serial is
pretty much a peecee-world thing as I understand it, and furthermore
usually uses male for devices and female for cables, while this cable
has male connectors - but I have only speculation as to what it is for.
My best guess at the moment is that it's a printer cable. But, as I
don't have any NeXTen out where I can get to them and haven't laid eyes
on a NeXT printer in well over a decade, that's a pretty shaky guess.
These are in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. They're (relatively) light and
difficult to damage in transit, so I can pop them in a box and get it
on the snail if anyone wants them.
