11/35 on eBait

In the original listing a polite enquiry had been made to list the module numbers but the seller's reply was basically 'figure it out yourself from photo x'. Surely if someone asks a simple question like that then how difficult could it be to accomodate? Obviously too much effort for that seller it seems. Steve.

So there's another 11/35 up on eBait: http://www.ebay.com/itm/142135416325

Went unsold at $3500. Relisted, this time at $5000. Buy it this time before it goes up to $6500 next time??? http://www.ebay.com/itm/142146207101

I think that most are pretty visible. When you sell something you get enough trolls as it is...

I just wonder if they have seen that PDP/11 panels fetch stupid amounts and hoping a panel collector will buy it....

I think he expected a bidding war to end up @ 5k. I think he does not realize what an auction kill that no shipping is. There are also two nice RL02's that are pickup only in New Jersey I'd probably bid on, but no ship. No interest in what the hands off Freighters and Craters would add to the cost. I recommended them to a previous list member's query, and the quote was $8500 for his quote. I didn't hear if they'd do part of the work only, or not, or give a breakdown, but in the RL02 case I suspect I'd have to have it all done for a huge price. Probably the same with the 11/35. I did get one of three 11/84's that sold recently and it was shipped in a box, but the weight may be lower on that system box than the 11/35 is. I may let him simmer and maybe sell it and make an offer near the end if it just sits there. The 11/04 is still sitting as well at the price they want for it several months on, and it isn't anywhere near as high, so these listings do sit around. thanks jim
