IBM 5100

They're extremely rare. Rarer than almost anything except an Apple I.
Just before I was lucky enough to be gifted mine from a saintly
old-timer, I saw one sell for $650. That's the only one I've ever seen
for sale, and the seller said he'd received over 60 inquiries. He also
said he could have gotten more if he wanted to drag the bidding on for
another couple of weeks.

I am aware of a gentleman who may be willing to part with a 5110 + dual
8" external drives + printer, but he wants a "very generous offer" for
it and the shipping alone would be a killer since the total weight is
about 200 lbs (he's in PA).

BTW, do you have a web page for your collection?

Kai
