What would persuade a fan like me to part with some of this old,
valuable Infocom memorabilia?

Newer Infocom memorabilia!  I like uniform gray boxes!

For them newfangled gray boxes of Zork I, II, III, (with the nifty
zorkmid coin, map, and travel brochures) and Enchanter, I would part
with

- my classic Starcross flying saucer with full-color space map poster,
- the original Enchanter package with a sealed scroll in a cardboard reliquary
- the original 1982 Zork I, II, and III blister pack booklets (before they even
  had boxes)
- a half dozen The New Zork Times/The Status Line issues
and, and, AND
- a gen-u-ine, faded original Zork Users Group InvisiClues booklet for
  Zork I (back before Infocom co-opted them!), complete with David Ardito's
  artistic rendition of a lurking grue in vibrant, living invisible ink!

Don't need Status Line issues?  Wouldn't be caught dead with a hint
book?  Then how about a slightly rumpled "A human never stands so tall
as when stooping to help a small computer" Infocom poster?  (With a
story behind it of my six hour pilgrimage to Cambridge, MA to visit
the company offices, and the cunning trick Steve Meretzky used to
avoid talking to me. :-)

Send mail, we'll negotiate!  I also have the original packaging for
Deadline, Infidel, Seastalker, Planetfall, and Sorcerer...
