FWD from alt.folklore.computers

Possibly, but I remember seeing an eBay auction last year that was structured in a similar way. Winning bid went to a cancel charity (I think...) -- Tony -----Original Message----- From: SUPRDAVE(a)aol.com [SMTP:SUPRDAVE@aol.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 1999 3:13 PM To: Discussion re-collecting of classic computers Subject: Re: FWD from alt.folklore.computers In a message dated 2/17/99 11:48:17 AM Pacific Standard Time, steverob(a)hotoffice.com writes: << My wife's aunt just cleaned out her closet and gave us a digi-comp 1 in excellent shape with all the manuals, box, etc. I see from previous discussion that this is a beloved object to many of you.Since I don't want to profit on her (pre)spring cleaning, I would be happy to ship the unit to the first person who would be willing to make a $500 donation to the charity of my choosing (for a 40% bracket, that is a $300 net expense).I will be happy to confirm contents and quality of the unit with _serious_ purchasers. Since this is a charitable donation, I will not go down on the price (if no buyers emerge by March 1st, it's off to ebay). It will be sold first come, first served basis.Please, no haggling, and I hope that we can find a nice home for this little red computer, while supporting a worthy charity as well. Best regards,Lionel >> i'll be willing to bet one of my old computers that any of the ebay profit wouldnt goto charity...
