What's this ancient software worth?

Original Aldus Pagemaker for mac on 3.5" floppies, in the full box of pounds of manuals. The one completed listing on eBay had a price of $50 (v.3 on 5" floppies, fwiw), ended early by the seller for whatever.

My boss let me ditch my old floppies in with his recyclables last year.

'Saved me the trouble.

I think the AMUG disks might have had some value as collectors items, but I have the entire AMUG CD collection in storage anyway...

It might indeed have some value for a collector. I still have my Pagemaker 1.5 disks somewhere, vut no machine that could read them. I think they are on 400K floppies.

I have a Try-Out version of Photoshop from 1990.

Includes a Try-Out Program on one floppy, and another floppy Tutorial Disk.

The manual is 48 pages long.

Basic Tools and Windows look much the same as they do now, especially the Tool Box.

I have been a Photoshopper since 1993.

Anybody interested?
