I was going to eBay, but it hovers right at that magic
70lb rate which seems to hit all kinds of shipping
issues with USPS (won't deliver it), UPS (big $$$
surcharge), & FedEx (only deliver to a business
address, $$$). Seems by the time you factor in ship
costs it wouldn't be worth it unless someone was
really desperate.
Anyone ever sold-shipped one of these before, and are
my concerns founded?
I just had a package shipped to me which, according to Fedex, weighed 75
pounds. I had the sender use one of my pre-paid shipping labels. No
problems. Perhaps the pre-paid label helped. It only cost $39 according
to the breakdown. This was from Texas to California.
Yes, 75lbs is about what I am guessing once the box and packing materials is
added in. I assume you had it shipped to your business address, so Fedex
wouldn't beef about the weight.
On a tangent,
anyone in the Boston area interested in
one of these that can pickup? If so drop me an email
for machine details and maybe we can work something
out.
What model is it?
It is an APC I (APC-H01 Basic Monochrome APC) the big honkin' unibody with the
dual 8" floppies. I also have a very clean APC III which I am loathe to part
with, but could make it available for a really good offer ;-) I am trying to
sell alot of what I currently have and just concentrate on a small subset of
systems. The old time/space argument.
