I wish you guys would list want you are looking for more often as I had
to just trash over 50 Apple II, IIe, and related items like ext. floppy
drive, printers, and monitors. Some times I come across a shit load of
stuff that I can not use or save for the trash. If I see your want/wish
list I can email you when something comes up. I see the IIc+ around
here and in St. Louis, MO all the time but I already have three working
units. They sell for around $2 to $10 without a monitor.
