I have received a phone call from a guy in San Luis Obispo CA (no e-mail)
who wants to sell a Timex Sinclair 1000 -- complete including the 16K
expansion module -- at a swap meet. Like many people who are peripheral to
the community, he has a somewhat inflated idea of what this treasure is
worth, so I figure the best education is to just send him to the swap meet.
Anybody know of any close to him?
TIA

There is a swap meet at Nipomo (20 minutes drive from SLO) and that is the
best one that I know of in that area. My guess is that he would be lucky to
find someone to pay $10 for the thing at a swap meet. The new kit price
(minus memory modele) is $30 plus shipping from a company in NYC. They seem
to go for between $15 - $25 opn ebay.

TS1000 are so fairly common (of course, in my area) that I'd say $5 for
each is being generous. I'd say $10 for a TS1000 with a 16K RAM module is
a decent price. Even new, $30 is a bit steep.
