An original Compaq "portable"

I tried sending this directly but it bounced so. . .

I would estimate that your Compaq is probably worth between $50 and $200
depending on condition and what other original parts you have with it
and, of course, who is buying it and where.
?
About a year ago, I paid $100 for a like-new Compaq with all of the
original manuals and disks, which I considered reasonable considering
the machine. I?ve passed over trashed Compaq?s for under $10.
?
Best regards and best of luck!

Subject: An original Compaq "portable"

I have an original Compaq portable, that I had hoped to some day gut out
and put in a "modern" motherboard etc, with an updated screen, but now
it appears as if it may actually be of worth to someone as is. I even
have the original receipt from Sears Business Center, where I bought it.
Got an IBM proprinter also at the time, but that is now long gone.
Anyway, is there some way to find out what the value of my Compaq is?
Thanks to all who reply.
