We gotta remember that what needs to be listed is only
"we'll buy it by the pound no matter what part of the machine it is,
in ANY condition"
not
"I'd like to look through those to see if there are any goodies"
THAT is not an option, and will jeopardize the whole cooperation.
If we list "TRS80 model 1", then we gotta buy if they find a pallette of
broken model 1 wallwarts, or cassette recorders.
And don't expect/demand total accuracy! If we say 5150, then we need to
step up and buy any 5150-LIKE crap that they set aside for us. Sure, we'd
like a fully loaded, or even empty, expansion chassis. But what if they
accidentally set aside a 5160, instead? Or a VIPC generic XT? We need to
keep "pulling stuff for those weirdos" something that they look forward
to!
