Planning my eBay listings - Apple //c LCD



This is a funny one - I've had one or two emails, but one person went silent when told I wouldn't (and can't) sell my fully loaded IIe Platinum (which as described on my website has Transwarp, 1.25Mb RAM, Workstation card and so forth) for �50, and the other was in Italy where I have discovered a mysterious black hole for vanishing packages.

So, for US/Canada people - I'm intending to list a complete Apple IIc system, consisting of //c (early one), 9" Screen, external floppy and LCD panel. I'm really loathe to ship the whole lot overseas, as packing the monitor will cost a fortune and //cs on their own are cheap in their native land anyway.

Would it be better to:

List this as a UK only auction, excluding US/Canada etc. bidders?

Offer it to North American bidders, but instead of paying shipping, what they are bidding for is the LCD panel only? So I keep the //c system, and the end price includes the shipping.

I don't want to split the system up for listings, since UK people often can't get hold of the //c to run the panel on, let alone the panel.

For anyone interested, it's not mint but it does work - it's got several scratches in the left lower half of the screen and if there should be clips to hold it to the //c case, it doesn't have them.

I'll probably be listing it tomorrow. The system cost me something like �200, but I'm doing my usual and starting it at �1, no reserve.
