Glad to hear it.

This is certainly a reasonable offer, *if* these specifics will add 10% to
the sale price, and, since you seem so confident, you should have no problem
forwarding this information to me so that I may determine the value of said
information before agreeing to your terms.

Please understand that I'm not a shameless money-grubber; I have never sold
any computer equipment on Ebay before. I have been scratching my head for
six months, trying to figure out what to do with this item other than just
tossing it into the dumpster. Now I am in a position where I would like to
sell it in order to obtain other classic computer items. Your recent
comments suggest that you are not in favor of auctions being conducted on
this list, so Ebay seemed to be my best venue for *converting* this unit into
items I want, need, and will use.

If you found my inquiry offensive, perhaps you can tell me what other group
would be more informed about the current $$ value of classic computer items
than the members of this list.

Regards,

Glen Goodwin
