In my observation, a "beefed up" IIgs will bring more total dollars
if sold in parts than if sold as a system.

The reason is that interested buyers can focus on what they want,
not all the other stuff that they don't (and, of course, different parts
are the "good stuff" to different buyers).

I wish that this were not so, from the point of view of keeping a cool
system, lovingly constructed, together.  But sales results do not lie.
