You and I both. I had a PS/2 model 50Z that was in the first 500 by serial
number but it still went for $7.95 plus shipping. Granted the PS/2 isn't as
"rare" as the Osborne I but your point about the seller abusing his or her
comments to make the unit sell for more is ridiculous. Sure I'd like to sell an
Osborne I, or even my kaypro 2X, for that kind of money as I know I can always
find another at a more reasonable amount. As it is the guy probably was given
the machine by someone that had it in their closet since day 1 and is out to
find the finest of P.T. Barnums example of "a sucker born every minute".
