I agree with the comments above (NOT)

The original portable was indeed a nice machine, and does run faster than
the the Classic (or the lame powerbook 100).  I'd question the (=Classic II)
comparison.

Tell you what, I'll offer the same deal (less the modem but with 6 meg of memory)
for $1000.

Apologies to anyone who just snapped up this great deal.

Note the .edu at the end of Edwin's user name. He is one of those
ivory-tower folks (actually, Mexican restaurant at Stanford) who
thinks that everyone on the Internet can get educational pricing.

Of course, this is NOT true which is why some people will pay more
for a used machine than others will pay for a new one. This may not
be fair, but it IS reality.

And as for the IIcx for sale, I have no interest but: You might if
you need three NuBus slots (the NEW IIsi has a maximum of one NuBus
or two PDS); you want a decent power supply (the IIcx has one, the
IIsi does not); you want to buy in now and perhaps upgrade to a
Quadra 700 (or 750 or whatever comes out next) later (there is no
upgrade path for the IIsi.

As they say on the net: Just my two cents,

Distribution: dc,world
Organization: Georgetown University

I have the following FAX machine for sale:
it listed for $3999 new, and can be had now for around $2000

I am asking $400.

Here's the facts:

It is a Xerox 7021 plain-paper fax:

Features include:
Ordinary, cut cheet plain paper output, multiple copies, 40 character
display, automatic document feeder, auto dialer, 15 second
transmission, job reserve, delayed start, confirm, send-receive
headers, menus, operator guide, secure send, broadcast send, FAX
forwarding, preprogrammed group dial, extended group dial, error
correct mode, enhanced reporting, relay send, ASCII print option

There is a problem with the scanner on the machine, I do not know what
is wrong, and I have not priced repair. It receives FAX's beautifully,
and all the reporting works....the only problem is it won't scan a
document. Once the scanner is fixed, it will also double up as a plain
sheet copier.

I think $400 is a very reasonable price for this workhorse - to
receive on plain paper is what everybody wants. Hell, use a send only
FAX modem.

Please send enquiries by e-mail.

Date: 22 Aug 92 16:28:21 GMT
Article-I.D.: husc3.1992Aug22.122821.15013
Organization: Harvard University Science Center

Last week I posted a notice that I wanted to buy some cheap
Mac computers. I have received numerous replies. Some very
good offers and others that do not appear so to be any good.

I am an expert with PC compatibles. There is little in the PC world
that I do not know. However, this is my first experience purchasing
Macs. So, I feel a bit uneasy. Perhaps you can help me understand
the pricing.

Many of the Mac systems posted on the board appear over-priced.
This is especially true of Mac II Classics. Mail order companies
and local dealers offer these systems for $1200, which is the same
price that is being advertised. I know some systems have larger
80mb hard drives, but the prices still appear out of whack.
Typically, in any industry, the rule of thumb is that used equipment
should sale for half the price of a comparable new system.
That means, these $1200 systems should be around $600. Yet,
I have received insulting replies when I submitted a bid for this amount.

I contacted Apple and local dealers to discuss this pricing. Apple
believes the pricing of used equipment is the result of their inability
to provide these systems as fast as demand dictates. In this case,
it explains why this is a seller's market.

On the other hand,if this is an accurate picture, buyers should
get new systems rather than used ones. In my case, I also get
the educational discount which puts the cost even lower.

Explanations, comments and suggestions are welcome.
Feel free to contact me at: sweeney@husc3.harvard.edu.

I've just made a deal with someone in California to buy a computer.
I feel nervous about sending a check to someone I don't have any way
of checking up on (this is not a retail outlet or any business that might
be listed in the phone book or the chamber of commerce).  He agreed to
accept a 20% down-payment and ship it C.O.D. to alleviate some of
my apprehension, but I'm wondering:

Is there some established protocol for avoiding scams in this market?
Do I really need to worry about a seller disappearing after I give him
a check, or do I have some recourse?  What about the possibility of a
seller shipping a piece of garbage C.O.D.?  Would he/she still get the
money?  If any knowledgable readers have some advice on this matter,
a post would be helpful to many of us.

That's very true.  A lot of very reasonable deals get squashed and
some people with very reasonable prices get (wrongly) criticized here
