Re: Was the IIGS ever sold in Europe? --> Advice on where to source!

["Deacon Blue" <scavenger@apexmail.com>]

Hello Jan!

Being located in Scandinavia myself I can give you some advice on where to
look:

The easiest way would be to look the at  'Ebay' and 'Yahoo' auction sites in
Germany / Denmark / UK, as  I've seen IIGS-units being advertised there from
time to time.

Another place to check out is the German '8-bit Nirvana'  "Flohmarkt" on
URL:

NOTE! Make sure you dont get ripped off, use the following link as guideline
for what you should offer:

For a well-maintained IIGS unit you should expect a price around DM 150-200.
Make sure it supports 220V voltage, or you will need a US voltage-adapter.

---> You would probably require a separate ADB-compliant keyboard supporting
your national keysets, for instance the 'Apple Extended Keyboard II'  for
Mac if you want to do anything with the box besides from playing games.

Have fun!
