Local find? Those would be a bit heavy on shipping.
I've had a deskside Onyx sent to me from Reading, PA and San Diego,
CA. I drove out to St. Louis, MO (Hi Jay!) and rented a truck to
drive back: Crimson deskside, Onyx XL, Challenge XL, Onyx 2 4-rack
Reality Monster.
Having this puppy shipped to me, even if by freight, will be nothing
compared to those.
Is SGI more collectable
now then a few years ago?
Personal Iris, Onyx, Crimson are hard to find, particularly in good
cosmetic condition. The skins are fragile on the Onyx/Crimson/Challenge.
The PI is much harder to find, IMO. I've been looking for several
years and this was the first one on ebay. There was one offered by a
collector in Canada, but the customs and border crossing aspect of the
shipping (plus he wanted to sell everything in one big lot at a time
when I was short on cash) were prohibitive for me. Eventually someone
picked it up in person.
