Hello All:
I was lucky enough to buy the old building downtown where I have stored
and worked on all my old machines over the past three years...
Also 1 non-working PET 2001.
Do you have an idea of how much you want to get for this? Working PETs
are going from "cart it away" to $100, depending on urgency and exact
model and what the seller thinks the traffic will bear. To put it
into perspective, I bought several PETs a few years back for $9 each.
I am trying to arrange shipping for a 4016 for $35, and someone in
Madison, WI has a PET w/printer and disk for $50 (pickup). I am a collector,
not a reseller. I will not be offering this on e-Overpay. My first
computer was a PET and I don't have a working 2001 anymore. :-( I do
have the remnants of a C= dealer; I have parts and schematics. Your PET
would be repaired if at all possible, not scrapped. I would like to
give it a good home, but not go broke trying to do so. Please give me
an idea of your price range.
Anyway, if you can use any of this stuff, please
contact me. I don't
expect to get rich off the sales and I'd rather another collector get it
than dumpsterize it. I live in Eastern NC so factor that into the
shipping.
I'm in Ohio (43202). Pre-pay or COD is fine with me, as long as know the
shipping up front (I got burned on an SX-64 because the guy took it to
Mailboxes, Etc. Shipping was 50% more than the price of the unit!).
