My advice is not to sell on usenet.  The people here sit around and
suggest shit prices and "donate it to a school" or "give it away"
is the common refrain.  This is an atmosphere caused by people trying
to get products cheap.  Usenet is not the best measure of an Apple
system's value.  To give you an idea, last November, at a local
users group BBS, I saw a IIgs system, like the above except with
4MB of memory and 105MB hard disk, sold for $390.  Fair deal, both
seller and buyer were happy.

I don't know what kind of stupid advice the seller would have faced
if he were to have posted on comp.sys.apple2.marketplace instead,
but I can imagine...
