Can anyone explain to me why a TRS-80 model 1 level 2,
no expansion
box or floppies, just the base unit, ps and monitor, would sell for
$700 US? There were several bidders willing to go over $600.
There are several more, more complete, systems on ebay right now in
the $20-$60 range. There's also one with a $460 starting bid and
no bidders. Is there something I'm missing on this one?
It is the same reason we pay a dollar for drinks at our fast food outlets,
and two dollars a gallon at the pumps. Too much money, too little schmarts.
