IBM PS/2 Model 25

Well, I would only need one. The better of the two. Could you see how much
it would cost to ship it to Lansing, Michigan? Zip code - 48912.

I have several Model 60's and 80's so do not need those. I used to use
these in high school, and am looking to put together a small collection of
IBM computers from that time. I already have a couple of other desktop
model 25's. I even have an original PC and PCjr which was my first
computer. Why am I interested? Nostalgic reasons only, nothing more.

I am certainly interested if you could tell me the cost of shipping to
48912.

Thanks much,
Dan
