No, I'm talking about the //c+ - there's one for sale in
comp.sys.apple2.marketplace (Don Hetzel) right now. On eBay, over the past
6-8 months, I've counted nearly 2 dozen of them for sale. If you're not
finding them, you're not looking often enough or you're using a bad search
string. Do you only search ebay.com.au or do you search all of ebay.com? It
doesn't matter that they weren't released in Australia - today, we've got
the global economy, and many sellers on eBay don't mind shipping overseas.
Which is good -- I've bought more than a few Apple items from Australia (NIB
Imagewriter sheetfeeders) because I couldn't conveniently find them here in
the US.

It's fair dinkum John, they are out there.
