A LOT of their prices and descriptions make no since. For example the HP
9000/300 computer described as a "HP - 1MB + VIDEO". That's the markings
on the back of the video card but they think that it's the name of the
item. It just goes to show that they don't know anything about the stuff
and that they're just picking prices out of the air. In the case of the HP
9000/300 they aren't even smart enough to find the model number (it's
inside the grill).

RE:dcpolPlistCKIE:DEC++++CATEGORY
If I'm reading this right, these guys have:
(1) PDP 11/23 @ US$695
(1) VAX 11/730 @ US$995
(3) VAX 11/750 @ US$295 each
(2) PDP 11/84 @ US$1,307.12 each
...and a plethora of other DEC gear. There's also some HP1000 series
peripherals and lots of other stuff. Might be worth looking into.
A 730 costs MORE than a 750?? I know they're rarer, but... huh?!
