Well . . . what I meant was the monitors. That's
what he's asking $75 for
and without the Appollo stations they're of little use, being fixed
frequency types. If he asked $25 for them they'd still be difficult to
move.
Depends on the locale. Here in SoCal we have a LOT of these workstation
monitors turning up and a few places have even brought in a tech to modify
a batch for use on a PC and sold them at a higher price. I don't see the
standard units as a bargain even at $25, unless you NEED one. They are OLD,
BIG, HEAVY, and generally support only a single (low in modern terms)
resolution.
At $75 IMHO he is looking for suckers, people that don't know what the
monitor is, or what is required for its use, and are lured into purchase by
what they think is a low price for a BIG color monitor. So maybe he sells
one or two at that price, and each of those customers then tell ten friends
about getting ripped off at so and so's place. Great business plan.
