> Apple ][e: $80 $15-$20
Try free(like mine) to $15, although
I've seen them go for $20+ even at
swap meets...
> TRS-80 model II: $200 Don't have good
guess but $200 way too high
> TRS-80 model III: $120 $15-$25 (many made)
> TRS-80 model IV: $120 (ditto)
Doesn't seem to matter, the
people who own them know the higher prices and
want to get at LEAST that much...
> Compaq Portable: $100 Pfeh. $15
I'd get one for <$15, but I've yet to see one that cheap. Cheapest so
far
is $50.
> TI 99/4a: $30 Ugh. Try Free-$5
(99/4a's and VIC-20's were

> TI and Commodore in the early 80s...tons made)
Yep... I love mine, although I've had it since they were new...
> IBM PC model 5150: $100 Please. Hundreds of
thousands made. Free.
Laugh it into the ground... Free is the only price. And if
that's not good
enough, I recently picked up a Compaq 386/20 with multisync VGA monitor for
free...Too bad I can't get the &^$&$(@$%#& 3.5" floppy to work.
> Macintosh 128K: $200 $50-$100. Not that
hard to find.
HA! Try free-$10. I think I paid too much for mine at $15. I have
several
512K's and some less-than-functional 128K's I got for free.
Now to add something new to the list... What are the best/worst for RFI?
I'm into ham radio now, so that's a bit of a problem. My Zenith laptop is
horrible, and the Mac LC II isn't too bad but it's monitor(currently the
one I got with the Compaq 386) can be a bit annoying on the air. I'm going
to try my TI-99/4A soon, and I'm not sure what to expect from it. And I
never had any problem when I was using the radio near my PowerMac 6500(with
an Apple 15AV monitor), although the radio equipent moved to the other end
of the attic now...
