I believe the seller is being completely disingenuous when he says, "I
don't have a monitor or the expertise to test it", considering that he is
selling a monitor with the Sol! Being that it only contains a RAM card,
this is seller code for "it doesn't work but I don't want to let you know
that". Dishonest.

It's only the shell of a Sol-20. Anything over $250 and, like a purple
Intel C8080A, it's way over-valued.
