Hi,
That's pretty depressing. I have a kaypro II setting here. I knew it
wasn't worth much, but $40 bucks isn't worth the time to pack it.
I think I could get more tearing it down and selling the drives and
other CPU bits.
Ugh!.

I see many Kaypros not sell at $40. I would value it
past 100 personally but that's all dependent on your desire and disposable income. Its
less common to find them with software although images can be found here and there. If it
had full boxed manuals and software you could consider a little more but unfortunately
they're fairly common systems still.

Subject: Kaypro II
A fellow has a Kaypro II here he wants an offer on. There are manuals
and a modem, cables, works, floppies and high expectations.
Any idea what to offer him?
I see numbers from 50 to 600 on epay, but figure this is a the low end.
He was asking 400, and is possibly the first owner. If I find out it
is an estate sell out I can probably handle it, but if it is an original
owner, I figure i should have a good idea what to offer with some backing.
any discussion appreciated.
It looks like it has has booted and run cpm from one of the screens full
of stuff.
