It's the rarer 'B' version... a good buy at this price. All complete.
Will ship internationally

It's gone now :cry: ... but take heart, guys, here's another one:

This one is the lesser and common 'A' version... oh, and by the way,
it will cost you 50% more than the first one. Unlike the first one, this
will ship to USA only.

ebay is rough

Post by Queegmeister »

I always miss good sale and if I buy I see it cheaper later. I look in history and think I'm ok then someone has big bargain or wont ship USA.

Im slowly losing my good deal on TM because I overpay. And it would be nice to get a risc 1 megabyte for less than a car

Too bad steve doesn't make list of what we should pay for each important model so we don't get taken to goulag HINT HINT

All I see is old website with out of date prices in past now and all models listed as RARE on ebay when they are as common as shells on beach

maybe Im just cranky old man now

frustrated regards

:
A good rule of thumb when buying an expensive rare schachcomputer is to NEVER look back at the price that same computer sells for after you bought yours
it will only cause you needless pain

same rule for the stock market
never look at the price of a stock after your sell out your position

Ever Onward Regards
Steve

hard not to look back

:) Thanks for pep talk Steve !

Just when when you are getting close to 500 in age you have more to look back on than ahead, I remember good old days when I play original Turk machine. Much stronger than Genious
