Guys:
I'm faced with a dilemma, and I'm polling for opinions.
Some time ago, I swore I would never again publicly
broadcast (via this ML) ads for computers that could be
considered "Investment Grade".
Those of you who have been around long enough know what
I'm talking about; a machines that tend to fetch
an obscene amount of money, despite the general opinion
that they really aren't worth that much.
The general objection is that such sales unreasonably
inflates the co$t of our hobby, so we can't afford it
anymore.
The dilemma is this: A friend of mine has such an
"Investment Grade" machine; and he wants to sell it to
the highest bidder <cringe>. Now I'm faced with two
bad choices: Put it up on e-bay, or post it to this
forum. I dislike e-bay for what it did to our hobby.
I'm not comfortable posting it here, because I have a
deep respect for the collectors/hobbyists here (of all
stripes), and their opinions on the effects
commercialization has had on our hobby (not to mention
my own conscience).
My friend *specifically* requested I post the ad here,
as he was quite pleased with the result, previously. I
will only do this if you guys feel this is the appropriate
thing for me to do: I post the description, interested
parties submit bids, *OFF LIST*.
What say you all?
Thanks.
Jeff
