Hans, I don't know about you wacky Germans, but any American paying
USD$30-70 for a TI-99/4a in ANY condition would be a fool and a half.
Maybe if it was gold plated, or the President used it to fondle an intern,
then maybe. But I just passed up on two TI-99/4a's in the box without
even a second thought.
New, unused, original packaging and never opened with no damage to the box
is not hard to find (ok, except for "never opened", but still). Maybe
USD$10-$25.

I just paid $90 for future reference. A bit more than I wanted to pay but
then how many 99/4's does one come across? In my experience of collecting
for many years, the answer is not many at all.

Repeat same discussion as above. You can buy new ZX-81's from that zebra
website for US$29 or whatever it is.

That's the ultimate price indicator.
