This is a funny one - I've had one or two emails, but one person went
silent when told I wouldn't (and can't) sell my fully loaded IIe
Platinum (which as described on my website has Transwarp, 1.25Mb RAM,
Workstation card and so forth) for �50, and the other was in Italy where
I have discovered a mysterious black hole for vanishing packages.
So, for US/Canada people - I'm intending to list a complete Apple IIc
system, consisting of //c (early one), 9" Screen, external floppy and
LCD panel. I'm really loathe to ship the whole lot overseas, as packing
the monitor will cost a fortune and //cs on their own are cheap in their
native land anyway.
Would it be better to:
List this as a UK only auction, excluding US/Canada etc. bidders?
Offer it to North American bidders, but instead of paying shipping, what
they are bidding for is the LCD panel only? So I keep the //c system,
and the end price includes the shipping.
I don't want to split the system up for listings, since UK people often
can't get hold of the //c to run the panel on, let alone the panel.
For anyone interested, it's not mint but it does work - it's got several
scratches in the left lower half of the screen and if there should be
clips to hold it to the //c case, it doesn't have them.
I'll probably be listing it tomorrow. The system cost me something like
�200, but I'm doing my usual and starting it at �1, no reserve.
