I just picked up a TS-803 from ebay. What got me interested in it
were two things: i) the case is funky and original, and ii) it
purports to be one of the few CP/M machines that had graphics right
out of the box. Amazingly it got here without the case getting
smashed. That's either luck on my part (based on how it was packed)
or they have sturdy cases. I think it ended up being a little bit of
both. With the funky case design, I was certain that it was going to
have sheared away from the main unit.
I think from now on I'm going to demand that they use a professional
packing service for shipping anything besides documentation. I'm tired
of paying $70 for a hulk of smashed plastic to be delivered to my house :-(.

That is, unless you're looking for a TS800 or similar, like I am (or any
TS8xx gear...) My dad used to have a TS806 at his practice, which I
took apart after it broke (and which my parents threw out :(.
