I don't know if this has been mentioned or noticed by members of this
list, but I got a pleasant surprise the other day when I stopped by
the Re-PC store near Southcenter. Sometime in the last few months,
they seem to have started pulling out the "best" of the junk and (most
importantly) keeping it as complete as they got it.
When I was there earlier this week, they had a C-16 _IN THE BOX_, a
couple of complete VIC-20 systems (including disk drive, printer,
datasette), a couple of Apple //c's, two shelves of software, and
another shelf of various accessories (a lot of Atari 8-bit stuff,
oddly enough no Atari 8-bits). Prices were reasonable.. I think, for
example, the complete VIC-20 systems were going for $30-$40.
Somebody who knows something about classic equipment is obviously
working there, as the stuff is getting as close to the "white glove"
treatment as you could possibly give it in that environment. I did
not see anything similar in the other Re-PC store "downtown".
Just something interesting to share...
