286 machine, how much?

Dec 27 15:59 UTC 1992 |
Soon, I'll be putting a computer up for sale and would like
to get an idea of what would be an appropriate price to set.
The stats: IBM PS/1 286 10mhz
1 mg memory
30 mg hard drive
SVGA monitor and graphics card
IBM sound card with midi interface
2400 baud internal modem
mouse
MS Works, Carmen Sandiego, Slipheed
DOS and a Windows-like interface (optional use)
The machine is about two years old and has seen light duty.
I was thinking somewhere around $300, maybe even $400. Am I
way high or in the ballpark?

$300 sounds like a good ballpark figure to me, but what do I know?
I've got a 16-MHz, 386SX with 3M of memory, VGA, and 80 M hard disk. I
was thinking of asking $650 for it.

The 286 has sold for $300, before I had even placed an advertisement.
I maybe could have done a little better but it's going to a good home
where two little girls are just thrilled to be getting their own pooter.

what it was worth probably depended most on the monitor and the graphics
and sound cards.. Ironically the SVGA card is probably worth more than
the motherboard..

I'll give you. Dollar for it, if you do not stipulate that it cannot be
used for target practice (I am so rusty, I hope I can still hit the
broad side of a 286 at 100 meters).

My eyesight isn't what it used to be.
Make mine a ceramic DIL 68000.

Good optics and a heavy barrel help accuracy. A stable platform and a
bipod do wonders for consistency. -DTK
