Well, I just saw the deal of a lifetime on eBay. A TRS-80 Model I
(unfortunately, not working) with only a $4,000 reserve!
I think it is this kind of nonsense that breeds more of the same by sellers. A $4000 TRS-80 Model I doesn't sound
unreasonable ... as long
as it
includes a working system including expansion box and
monitor, most of
the
software ever written for the unit, etc. :).
No that is not reasonable. That exceeds the new purchase price for that
much.
TRS80s arent even scarce nor is it complete. I'd say a clean system with
all
the facory mods, Expansion interface, disk drives plus software working
may
warrent some money but not $4k.

I didn't miss nothing... Most of that is noise and all. Like I said
a pristine system with the full boat is not that hard to find. I was
given one (very complete) free a year ago. Tandy sold some 400,000
of them!
