Thought this was interesting for anyone that is into old computers in Kansas. Free pickup and free non-working units? Might be $15 well spent.

I paid my $15 and got one working and one that doesn't work. However, the sellers intent was that you have to buy all that's left to get any free. He has a total of 12 left. He told me he'd give me a really good deal on all that was left. I admit got a little excited about that. Then he tells me $100 for all. Hmmm, let's see now. I paid $15 for two. Oh hell no! By the way, my opinion based on more than his great offer, he's a bonafide flake. Breakdown summary of main components. Mobo is a finger card configuration. That's good but at 12.6 oz. that's not so good. CPU is green fiber w/pins and AL cap. Mobo plugs into a backplane that weighs 11.05 oz. That's all besides 2-3 oz of ribbon wire and a floppy drive. Also, there's a better than average power supply which has a max output of 100w. Haven't broken one down yet but it does have all copper heat sinks. The case is steel with a composite outer shell. So, my conclusion is that they are not worth it at all. I almost broke even at 2 for $15. That's if my time is worth nothing. That day I had nothing else to do so why not. Never the less, thanks for the post!
Well thanks for taking on the adventure. Sorry it didn't pan out so well for you. Was there any sort of RAM?
I thought there might be some collector value in those units. Sounds like they may not be as old as advertised though. Can you post pics?
I did forget to mention one stick of RAM per unit. Not re-saleable. Still a longs ways off from profitability. Sorry no pics.
