I recieved an email from someone looking to sell an IBM PS2 8573-061 (he
saw my name mentioned in a newpaper article about collecting old computers
and contacted me). Asking about the price, here's what he said:
I did a little research on pricing this morning and I
see the same unit at
Computer Fusion Inc. for $425 and on eBay for $490. I'd be willing to sell
mine for half price to get it out of my garage.
I'm thinking of putting it on eBay. Let me know.
If anyone is interested, say so and I'll pass on his email address.
The person lives in Boyton Beach, Florida and works in Boca Raton (home of
the IBM PC).

So, what would be a good value for the system
he's selling then?
I just bought one with a bad floppy for $5.00. Works otherwise.
The computer thrift store had it on the shelf for a long time, first
at $80, then several mark downs getting to $20. Finally they took my
$5 offer in a clearance sale.
I search completed sales to find what a real price is. What people are
asking on eBay is often "pie in the sky".
I guess at the real value on eBay is about $40 to $80 depending on its
cosmetic condition. If it has the original box, manuals and Software
it could go for more.

I'd give him $50 for it. And I probably value the system more than a

Sridhar, if you do grab it, let me know if you need pickup
help...I could sit on it at my place until you come down for your
next visit.
