About four years ago I got a complete 5160 with
color monitor & IBM printer
for about $200. Everything was in the original boxes and even included IBM
branded printer & serial cables, also in boxes! I need to find a good
keyboard for my 5150 though.
The cool thing was that it appeared to have been boxed and then never
touched since about 1986. That's what all the file dates read. The
machine was totally pristine, inside and out. Spinrite found zero errors
on the 10MB hard disk it had too.
Must be something about XTs... I also have one that came to me in the
original boxes and in mint condition.
Bought it from a retired college professor for $50.
Now that's a score. The shipping labels on the boxes lead me to believe
that my example was used internally at IBM.
