About four years ago I got a complete 5160 with color
monitor & IBM printer
for about $200. Everything was in the original boxes and even included IBM
branded printer & serial cables, also in boxes! I need to find a good
keyboard for my 5150 though.
The cool thing was that it appeared to have been boxed and then never
touched since about 1986. That's what all the file dates read. The machine
was totally pristine, inside and out. Spinrite found zero errors on the
10MB hard disk it had too.
Nice. Here in New Zealand original IBM PC and PC/XT machines aren't
common. Largely a result of companies scrapping them, so they weren't
shoved up in a loft like many beloved home computers. Also by the
time businesses started to buy in bulk, the Asian clone factories were
in full production. Those clones were just so much cheaper!
