Prices to pay for old computers...

Are you refering to the original 16KB-64KB motherboard 5150 PC or do you mean the 64KB-256KB motherboard 5150 PC? I have only seen two original 16KB-64KB 5150 PC's. I'm certain there must be plenty of them out there but I never see them. I see the 64KB-256KB motherboard 5150's everywhere.

in its original box will all manuals and all original parts, manuals, disks etc this would be a reasobabley fair price to pay. .999% of all IBM PC I come accross have been upgraded, treated badly, hacked, and far from thier original condiditon, and there

no manuals in site.............. but if you have one with only the CPU at that it well, perhaps $0-10 is a fairer price........ You cant just say that xxxxx computer is worh $xx amount...... you have to allow for some systems that have manuals, disks, boxes etc............. systhems in these conditions are few and far between............ this is just my opinion on the subject so I would like to hear other
