That's true but then there would be shipping involved.  :)

I actually got four Apple II systems (2 IIgs and 2 Laser 128) with
accessories (manuals, magazines, software, etc) for free from a
posting on the A2Web classified section one day while playing with
SIS.  It ended up costing me about $400 CDN to get the 12-16 boxes of
stuff sent to me but it was worth the cost because I got so much stuff
that I didn't already have.  I even sold some of the excess at my user
group swap meet to help pay for it.  :)

However, there are a few other reasons I can't pick up stuff right now
too.  I may be moving in the next couple months and I already have too
much stuff.  Besides, all the stuff I have right now doesn't leave
much room for anything else and who knows how much room I'll have in a
new place.  :)

So I guess what it boils down to is that I can't justify getting
anything new for my Apple IIs right now so I don't bother reading
comp.sys.apple2.marketplace.
