This Helios II has been "sold" multiple times for varying amounts and then
suddenly hours later appears for sale again. I'm done bidding on this each time it
appears, because if I won, who knows what I'd receive or if the seller would cancel
the auction.
"PAYPAL USERS MUST WAIT COMPLETE CLEARANCE
(IT CAN REQUIRES ALSO 21 DAYS)"
What they heck does that mean? Not a seller I would touch with a 10 foot pole.
Something seems odd about this seller "scroogemcduckbonaparte" and
their cousin "paperonebonaparte", who has positive feedback for
selling a "HELIOS II DISK SOL 20 8 INCHES FLOPPY WITH CONTROLLER
ALTAIR ERA IMSAI S100 BUS (#272205548861)" for $1,950.00 within the
last 6 months. "scroogemcduckbonaparte" has positive feedback as a
buyer from "paperonebonaparte" for several items over a year ago.
Wow that is the same unit for sale. It doesn't have the key power switch like all
Helios but a replacement rocker one so you can identify it as the same unit.
Ok now this is getting really interesting. My guess is his alter ego must keep winning.
He is trying to drive up the price. Sure if the unit worked or was confirmed to have an
intact glass scale it might be worth a a ton.
