I would repair it all, it's rather easy if you know how to do it (and many
of us, know how).
So you might just sell the stuff and be happy (or donate to some museum
if you know one).
If you still want to scrap them, I guess I'd pay shipping costs (and again
I'm not the only one probably).

Sure, emulators do work, but real hardware is more fun and works better than
emulators most of the time :)
