Hey the seller is our very own Mike (Dog Ass) Haas! I think that's the model 4 that
I gave him at the last junk-fest we had down here. I'm SURE that he's pleased with
the price.

Is this just a fluke, or have these things gone up a lot in value since I
last looked at them? My guess, is of course, 'just eBay prices,' but even
on eBay, I rarely see pricing *that far* off what I'd expect.

It seems like a lot of money to me. Not that I follow TRS-80 prices.
If it does have 128K, that memory upgrade requires a special PAL or
something, so perhaps they think this is something special.
Still, it makes me want to sell my system ;) it doesnt have 128K,
but I do have an unused memory upgrade kit, including the special
chip, that i ordered from Radio Shack back when I heard they still
had stuff like that in a warehouse. Years ago.

Model 3,4, II, and 16s have been seeing good action there lately. But, I'm
suprised too, and needfully thankful.... .Alot of those funds are going to
the support that computer's brethern and their curator through dark times.
It was my nicest Model 4 (with the 128k) by the way, and Joe, I think that
was a 4p from off you then. (I prefer them to the bigger 4's anyway)
I did start the bidding out at $25 and when I saw it blast off, I tried to
sweeten the deal and will probably throw in some bonusii too
