Subject: $700 TRS-80???
Can anyone explain to me why a TRS-80 model 1 level 2,
no expansion
box or floppies, just the base unit, ps and monitor, would sell for
$700 US? There were several bidders willing to go over $600.
Stupidity.
There are several more, more complete, systems on ebay
right now in
the $20-$60 range. There's also one with a $460 starting bid and
no bidders. Is there something I'm missing on this one?
buy the cheap one. ;)

Anybody else see the MicroVAX II with VMS 4.x and a set of
orange-wall manuals a guy (lance(a)swcp.com) is trying to
sell for $1400?
1/10th of that would be more reasonable, I would think...

Even that is too high, there are many available for the
taking, though not necessarily with all the extras you
described. You just need to keep yours eyes open. Example ...
I've got a MVII in a BA-123 (diskless) free to anyone in the
Houston area. I just need to dig it out from the pile of
shipping cartons piled on / around it. First request gets it.
Someone commented on being suspicious of an eBay seller for
changing his ID. Not always a cause for concern. I'll be
changing mine after completion of some pending buys, simply
because ...... I'm tired of my old *handle*.........
