Since we are snooping so much on this, what was the
auction ID, or maybe
just post the auction listing ad. Looks like Yahoo doesn't let you search
for completed auctions (ebay recently GREATLY restricted this to subject
only and drops items after about 60 days).

The posting consists of a somewhat blurry but decent photo of the
unit from about 2 feet away, from an angle a bit behind where a
person would actually sit. The only odd thing in the photo is that there
are three non-standard toggle switches mounted on top (which I've
seen others do on other computers to add extra resets, change the
clock rate, whatever). There are a couple close-up shots showing
the computer name. Finally, there is this text (no other):
Exidy inc. no nothing else about computer.
I have had another exchange with the seller enumerating the reasons
why I feel ripped off and prodding him to share the pain with me.
His reply was, more or less, too bad. I'm sending a slightly more
pointed reply at this moment. He even suggested that I try to sell
it to the 2nd highest bidder. Sheesh. I suspect I won't make any more
progress this way, but I've got to try the civil route first before getting
more obnoxious.
