                    A BRIEF ABOUT 7300's IN CHICAGO

There are *about* 900 NEW, good, 7300's in a warehouse in Chicago. Also
*about* 400 of same that didn't boot when tested but no diagnosis has been
made of why.

There are *about* 4000 Foundation Sets of the operating system. The FS is
sufficient to run application programs. There are NO Development Sets.

The owner has been looking for a buyer of the entire inventory. So far
unsuccessful. However, he has developed an application and a new business
that could very easily use all of the 7300s, so this could be the last
posting of the availability of these machines.

To order:

	A minimum of 20% of the price to me. I forward the payment to
	Chicago, alert him with electronic notice over the net, mail an
	order to him and a copy to the buyer showing payment and balance
	due. Shipment is made from Chicago via UPS COD for
	the balance plus shipping. Allow 3 - 5 weeks, depending on mail to
	me, mail to Chicago, the owner's schedule to go across Chicago plus
	a couple of suburbs to the warehouse, and UPS. Weight of a 7300 in
	shipping carton is approximately 60 pounds. 

	SPECIAL SHIPPING: Arrangements have been made for Federal Express
	to provide second day delivery within a radius of 600 miles of
	Chicago for a flat fee of $15.00.

Prices:

	7300 NEW, 30 day warranty, Foundation Set. 7300 is a "little

	built-in modem (1200 baud), green on black monochrome monitor

      As the supply of these machines may suddenly disappear, Chicago will
      attempt to give warning and make arrangements that all orders will be
      filled. HOWEVER, there IS the possiblity that my handling of orders
      and the owner's activities will get out of synchronization. IF that
      occurs and an order cannot be filled, you will get a FULL refund.
      This posting nor any preceding makes a PROMISE to fill every order.
