Common Folks!

 

If two Side Car expansion units go for $900 this practically requires that you pay a gift tax!

yeah, the TP printer sold again as usual for highway robbery pricing, as usual, each time a TP comes up for sale it clocks in around $1k or more, this one was a steal since you got the 32k sidecar basically throw in for free.

 

He has slowly been lowing the price on the CorComp, if it still around near the end of month, I might throw him a low-ball offer and see if he accepts it, just so i can have two of them in my PEB like its designed to.

Well, there is this thing about our White House.  Some are still a little miffed, even if it was before you were your own country.

You know a while back you stripped the whitewash paint off and restored the original structure to its beautiful sandstone, removing all the blackened burn marks, but after a few months of it being it's original look, they were forced to start painting it white again. Oh'well.

It acts as a sealant.  The stone had to be left to dry after the chemical wash.

I would buy this asap right now, except sadly this eBay'er hates Canadians, so will not sell it to me. Good luck everyone else!

Do you want this unit?  I mean, I can pick it up and send it to you.  You'd need to pay shipping from IA to Toronto, but if you want it, it's not that big of a lift.

But why though??? Why that particular piece of hardware? Other stuff has gone up a ridiculous amount recently, but that one in particular seems to be stupidly expensive all of a sudden. Someone show one off in a youtoob or something?

It's ok. I already have a 24pin printer and axiom interface, so really don't need another one.

I did show off my thermal printer at the 2 minute mark in my YouTube video, but it only got 80 views so it can't be the reason.

Limited time only, a super rare original Texas Instruments TI99 Home Computer BOX with still half of its FOAM insert...

 

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/226343985698

 

Please note, nothing else is included, just the box to place nicely on your collectors shelf, or to store safely away in your attic for your grandkids to find after you pass on all your wonderful childhood memories of technology to them to enjoy!

I think it was the Amiga folks, they actually reproduced the original boxes, because they become rare.

yeah, there is also reproduction boxes for the commodore 64 as well, designed just to sit nice and beautiful on your display shelf, with solid foam insert, with no room for any actual c64 inside! :)

I have seen Atari 2600 and Commodore 64 reproduction boxes, too.  There is a market for original boxes, but who seriously thinks rotted, falling apart, water-damaged boxes are desirable??
