I'm not exactly a fan of these hit-and-run posts.  Is this yours?  Did you just find it on ebay?  What can we expect to see there that makes it worth our time?

Add something worth reading, be part of the community, and you can put the link back. 

Thanks!  =D

Oh, I am sorry. This is mine and I am selling. It is a system as described in the title. People here ask about machines for sale from time to time and I thought it would be helpful. If you don't want that kind of post I wont do it again, up to you.

Nope, all good.  As I say, I don't want links and no context/content.  Post again, with full and cheerful authorization.  But yeah, talk it up a little.  Why are you selling it?

I am selling it because I got too many old computers and my wife is not happy about it :-)

I have actually sold about half of my collection (http://vintagecpu.wordpress.com/ (http://vintagecpu.wordpress.com/) ). I am still keeping my full size XVI but I am going to sell one of my 2 FM Towns soon. Sold all my MSX except for the Turbo R.

So in any case, here is the link to the eBay auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321479392100 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/321479392100)

coming to a forum just to do a plug for an ebay sale is generally looked down upon.  I saw your auction on ebay, as I am sure others did, since we browse the games we are looking for.  I think you should at least put "(ebay link)" or something in the title.  just my two cents.  and please, come back and chat about your experience- what you liked about the system or didn't.  We'd love to hear about it.

Last three compacts I sold were $600 each recapped + keyboards + external CF...   Though this auction has the ever elsuive external 5.25" drive unit...
