No this isn't mine, but I thought it was worth a comment. Seems a little steep to me! If they're really worth that much, I've got two for sale! Not that Jim Butterfield ever touched mine....:dontgeti:

I'll only be mildly surprised if it sells. I think in 5 years that will be a good price for a working, good condition B128.

I don't suspect the seller is expecting that kind of money, but probably a much lesser offer.

Yeah, and it does even have a screen on the top, like my first PET

Whilst we all knock ebay of course, lunatic sales aside it is the place to buy and sell Vintage computer stuff.

And the silly ads, well they make me chuckle

you know you want to.

(By the way the guy selling this AES machine is STILL my favourite

1. He knows nothing about it
2. SO by definition it might be dead as a dodo (no pictures of boot screen)
3. No mention of the necessary software
4. Not prepared to post it
5. Wants 2K GBP

) I've even asked him the odd question of two, just to test him. AND he's been trying to sell it for ever (I mean over 12 months for sure)

Hah! The one for the "gold plated" hard disk platter with "some tarnish or oxidation" is the best thing ever.

If he knew Jim that well he should know better than to refer to it as having anything to do with Porsche. The case was designed by Ira Velinsky.
