Re: Apple 2 Where/How much

["TheDM" <thedm@sunflower.com>]

If anyone gets frustrated looking at thrift stores and garage sales.  I have
a many many a2's I will sell. I'm not going to charge and outrageous amount.
I have many unehanced //e's as well as a few extra platinums, and drives
parallel cards and original system for software.  If anyone needs anything
feel free to email me personally.  I don't gouge people like sun
remarketing.  I keep most of this stuff for our local still very active
Usergroup in KC.  If anyone needs anything I will sell it at a reasonable
price, but you will have to pay shipping.

Please respond personally by email if you need anything.
