Always check Ebay and watch ya auctions vintage computers

[ozzy214]

I listed a vintage lappie on Ebay. As always I watch my auctions in the end. Glad I did. About 4 am Est I get a page, will ya accept a bid from Taiwan? Sure why the hell not. As long as you pay the additional shipping and insurance for it, go for it. Glad I did it,

Was only going to get like a $100.00 till this dude came around.



176 total lol. And I got another I may list. Got to see if I can make it run, not posting atm. May list for parts. Oh and last thought. Thank YOU PENNSTATE!!! These came from the IT dept from them or so I was told. And they are marked PennState.

Instead of checking my eBay auctions I let eBay check with me by using the eBay mobile app it is nearly impossible to miss any kind of message from any eBay members because I have my iPhone set to receive instant message alerts anytime someone sends me a message from eBay. This really comes in handy because when dealing with eBay the last thing you want to do is miss a question that someone has for you whether it's a good or bad question.

You did well with that auction, the ones I purchased were something like $30 shipped. The PRAM battery is soldered on the motherboard (which is why you get those errors on bootup) and taking that machine apart can be a pain if you don't know what you are doing (and the battery isn't cheap either).

I just picked one up at the scrap yard for about 6 bucks. It turns on but the screen does not work.
