Mac TV - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

...
 So I should offer the guy something like 10 bucks for
it and then offer it 
to the list for like 30 or, that way I can make some money to send to VISA 
and someone who loves Macs will be happy and it won't get junked, in other 
words. Please don't flame me for wanting to profit, but I'm seriously broke 
and need to pay Chris Kennedy/Visa/my parents/go to college/get gas/fix my 
power steering/pay J. Darren Petersen/etc. I think a $20 profit is fair, as 
I already spent time finding it, gas getting there, and would spend money 
obtaining it as well. Thoughts? 
Yes... if you can snag it for $10, and small profit is worth you time, 
then by all means, do it.

And if it works and/or is relatively complete, let me know... I'll buy it 
...
 from you. 
My overall point before wasn't that you should NOT buy one, just that you 
should not pay a high price expecting that you will get an even higher 
price for it later... but if you can get it cheap (like $10), you can be 
assured you will get some kind of profit on it. There is nothing wrong 
with making a profit on things... I just didn't want you to get burned 
thinking that the MacTV was going to get Lisa 1 like prices, and so you 
ran out and paid $100 for one expecting to resell it for $1,000.
