 Subject: Do I look Rich ?
  Had a guy e-mail me that wanted to sell a Osborne
(do not which model)
 but he wanted $3,500 and was not sure if it worked.  That's what happens
 when you get your name in the paper.  If anyone else wants it let me
 know.

 Did you tell him that computers are an investment that don't normally
 appreciate from their original purchase price (with the possible exception
 of Apple Is and Altairs)? Tell him I'll sell him an equally collectible
 Amiga 1000 for a very reasonable $2500.
 Seriously though, if anyone on-list want an original A1000 in its original
 box, with original keyboard but a replacement mouse (copies of Kickstart
 and WB 1.2 included, no manuals) I have one available. I'll take Amiga or
 Atari ST software (or most anything else Amiga-related) in trade.
 Cheers,
 Mark. 
Sorry, Mark, I already have one, to which I just added a Sidecar.  I think I
have now enough stuff to make a full-blown Amiga 1000 system with period
components.  Give me his email addy and I'll ask $15,000 and see what he
thinks!!!!  I'll need to get some pics taken when I dig it out of the
closet.
What ever happened to caveat emptor?  Is it now caveat vendum?
   
Regards
