I have a completely functional 128DCR system with external drives
(2 1571s and a 1581), 512K REU, joysticks, paddles, 1902 monitor,
tape drive, 803 printer with extra ribbons and with all the manuals and
disks for all the hardware. I'd sell it but it would cost over $125 just
to ship it! Who'd want to pay that much? Now if someone wanted to
drive up here to northern NY State to pick it up, they could get it for a
song (as long as the song was in tune!)

Doh! I'm such an idiot! What I really meant to say was I'll pay
you $150 shipping if you start singing...

Well, Mr. Mackey got a good deal, then! The early bird gets the worm.
Or in this case, about $500.00 worth of worms since I'm giving him
some extra stuff even he doesn't know about yet.
