Re: you gotta look around sometimes...

I can occasionally find rom 03 gs's at the local goodwill computerworks
for < $30 (sans monitor usually) as well as ADB keyboards/mice for <
$5.  So how is $80 a good deal?  The ram card?

What makes me want to laugh is the auctions closing on ebay where fools
are paying $40 for unenhanced //e's (here's a hint to the uninformed,
if it says APPLE ][ on boot, it isn't enhanced).  It's not like they're
freaking rare, man.  Such a mass-produced computer will take a very
long time to be considered a "rare collectible" item :-)

In case anyone's wondering, I'm pissed off because I lost out on a
platinum //e, which had some serious discoloration and no monitor.  I
figured $20 was the max I would throw at it.  Someone threw $40 at it
literally on the last second even though there were only two other
bidders, including myself, going in $0.50 increments.  I looked at the
winner's past purchases on eBay, and they seem to fall in the category
of needlessly wasteful spender who wants to be broke sometime in the
near future.

ugh...

Back to goodwill...
