I was browsing at the Goodwill yesterday and ran
across what seemed
to be a new (out of box) Mattel Aquarius. It still had the plastic
protector on the wall wart pins, and there were no scratches on
those mains pins. The unit was clean overall with no noticable
scratches or wear. Has cassette cable. The downside: $24.95. White tag,
so no possibility of a discount.
I've kinda always wanted an Aquarius, but that seems high to me. Am I
wrong?
No (even according to eBay prices). Even for a nice, shiny unit it's
a bit high priced. I'd wait until it came down to at least half that.
However, I could REALLY use the cassette cable, which would round out my
Aquarius collection (and bring me back to where I was at age 12 with my
first computer ;)
Happy Holidays all!
