Joe,
Ouch!
What was the usual PS/2 models with this inflated asking prices
unless it has special reason for this?
Let us know after thru these piles anyway.
Thanks!

The owner is a typical surplus store owner. He buys the stuff for $30
a pallet load (20 to 30 machines), but wants an arm and a leg for each one.
He'll scrap the stuff before selling it cheap. I went back down there
yesterday to look at some HP's and found out he had pulled ALL the boards
out of them and was still wanting $100 each for the empty boxes and power
supplys. The owner was acting like a jerk so I didn't even ask about the
PS-2s. I don't think they're anything special about the PS-2s but I'm not
very familar with them so I don't know for sure.
Hee hee, I agree with you, that guy is jerk! :)
He'll be a lot more willing to negotiate when he needs money. I'll try
him again sometime.
Well, so good luck
with alterative place anyway and see how things goes.
What do you
mean by what do you not familiar with PS-2s? I could help you to
ID?
I don't know what the various models have in them or which ones are rare
or valuable. Do you have a brief list that has that info? I could use a
copy.
BTW the trip to his place wasn't a complete waste. I stopped at a trift
store on the way back and bought a AT&T 7300 and some NorthStar manuals.
