Eric, I saw your post about the chips on ebay, and your right... the seller
(me) didn't know you could get a working cpu board for $25. The only prices
I could find on these chips online were from retailers and they listed them
much higher. So I took a chance at $55. I value your opinion and that of
others on the forum. Thank you for setting me straight. Do you know of a
source that might help me with pricing? I have thousands of Dec and Vax
boards and lots of other stuff that I would like to sell, but fair pricing
is tough. I have been told by other buyers that my prices for items sold to
them has been great. For instance, I sold a complete working Decmate III on
ebay for $49.00, a vr201 for $25, DSD440 dual floppy drives at $185,
complete working pdp8/e with 32k memory, rk05 drive, 4 disk packs, monitor
and keyboard for $800., 10 pack of new 8" floppies for $15, a tested power
supply for a vax 4000 for $25... I try to find as many sources for prices
online as I can then set my asking price below the lowest price I can find.
I will take back anything I sell that dosen't work and I do my best to test
any item before it goes out the door.

Eric, please don't think I'm slamming your post! I am apologizing to you and
those on the forum for missing the boat on pricing these chips. My
intentions are honorable and I welcome all suggestions from other
subscribers. All are welcome to visit our warehouse in Florida and make
offers on anything they see. I have had visits from other cctalk members and
they very pleased with their purchases. You can see a partial list of what
we've inventoried so far at www.tarinc.com

Thank you all for taking the time to read this. Personal emails can be sent

Sincerely,
thom
