Re: What would you do? (Large lot of systems)

I wouldn't pay more than $10 for a complete IIe system. On eBay I get $9.99
for a cpu, 4.99 for a Disk II, and $3.99 for a controller card. You can't
give the monitors away as they cost a fortune to ship. If there is any II's
or II+'s Grab them as they are worth it.
