[cctalk] Re: PDP-8/L $15,000

I wonder if it came to it which option would be best for me if I sold my Mark-8 stuff.  I have the unbuilt board set and then also the built one I acquired recently that was photoed in 73 Magazine.  It seems like the actual auction houses get more usually.BradSent from my Galaxy -------- Original message --------From: Sellam Abraham via cctalk <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> Date: 2023-08-28 3:10 p.m. (GMT-08:00) To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> Cc: Sellam Abraham <sellam.ismail(a)gmail.com> Subject: [cctalk] Re: PDP-8/L $15,000 On Mon, Aug 28, 2023 at 2:27 PM Dave Wade G4UGM via cctalk <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> wrote:> > -----Original Message-----> > From: Ethan O'Toole via cctalk <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org>> > Sent: Monday, August 28, 2023 9:38 PM> > To: Mike Katz via cctalk <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org>> > Cc: Ethan O'Toole <ethan(a)757.org>> > Subject: [cctalk] Re: PDP-8/L $15,000> >> > > However, epay does charge an insertion fee so they will have to pay> > > even when it doesn't sell.>> But you can re-list at different prices...>> >> > Eh, you get a lot of free listings these days.
