Collector's Corner..On Collecting Dedicated Chess Computers

Note with the California one the box is not a box but a picture of a box.
Same with the owner's manual.
The California one finishes a day after the Alabama one. There might
be some harsh words being passed around here.

editing, sorry I got them mixed up. The Alabama one is the one with
the picture of a picture of the box and owner's manual.

2100 Rating Plaque on the first acution is dark in color and the correct plaque when released for sale
in the second auction is looks like a bronze colored plaque of some kind which i don't think is genuine..unless this might be an upgrade from the Mobile Master?
it could also be just the color of the photo??

Squinting Regards
Steve

They are not the same one. The seller of the Alabama one sent me a shot
of the serial number. It's different. I looked at the wood grain and thought
it was identical. The California one has got faded home squares.

Strange
seems the auction is gone
no link

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121472222512?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

even when the seller closes early(usually to go around Ebay) the link remains and the item is shown as no longer available for sale
here the auction link is just gone

Without A Trace Regards

Maybe Ebay made him pull the auction because of the content taken from the other EAG 2100 auction? Might see it relisted with a different description?

Not sure regards,

Hopefully they will dig out a V8 next
there would be a bidding bloodbath the likes of which Ebay has never known

Going To The Mattresses Regards

this makes two auctions that the seller did not get his price for the broken Robot
the auction above and then he re-listed it:

im guessing he will treat us to a third auction

Hi,

a premiere is mentioned here but I am not able to find the offer on ebay.

I would be interested to find that offer.

Beste wishes, Gerhard

Thanks a lot,

I own a Premiere in perfect condition so I am mostly interested in the current market-value. My post otherwhere in this forum explains my status.

Thanks in any case for your info/link.

If you take a good look at the auction photo...
there seems to be a rather nasty dent/warp in the wood right where the program switching mechanism is
bidders might want to ask the seller to post a few more photos before shelling out 2-3 Grand for this baby

Warp Factor Two Regards

This reminds me of when I.C.D. (Chess USA) used to have those "scratch and dent" auctions on ebay.
