RE-PC (Seattle, WA) brag was Re: goodwill store brag

[John Laughlin <iisiman@premier1.net>]

Today, I just picked up another Apple 3.5 Drive for my //e with Laser UDC card
for $5.00, and a second disk ][ drive for my IIgs for $2.00.  Not bad...  For
anyone who's interested, they still have three other Apple 3.5 Drives, a
couple Mac 800K floppies, two IIgs RGB monitors (planning to get one tomorrow
for my GS) a couple DuoDisk drives with the cables attached, a UniDisk 5.25,
and another early disk ][ with the rainbow colored ribbon cable and a serial
number around 189,000.  All of these items are in the AS-IS clearance corner. 
In their main showroom, they have a //e with Apple 5.25 controller card, and
what looks to be a RF modulator with an RCA cable coming out of the #2 opening
in the back of the case.  They also have a IIgs CPU with a Grappler +, and
also have 1 remaining AppleColor Composite Monitor //e with the front cover
door missing.
