Okay, let's have a little fun with Ebay...

Take the poll, then make a few comments

I'm guessing that the seller wouldn't let this go for less than $90-$95. If it doesn't sell it'll just get re-listed until it does or he'll get sick of it laying around and give it to someone for $30 locally.

If this was an aluminum model, I think it would stand a better chance of selling. The beige models are nice looking, but you never know if it's going to be a crippled "QI" model. I'm also leery of those 30 year old membrane-style Mitsumi keyboards.

I just got an aluminum one, with 4 games for $20 and I think its prettier than that model

Nice boxed TI's are still too plentiful for that price. I could see around $50 currently for that one.

The first few 'other' should be 'maybe'.

Geography could have a lot to do with the final price, as the biege model was never released in Europe-it is possible that if shipping was not too bad-somebody may go for the buy it now price.(I saw an unboxed biege U.S model sold by a Dutch seller for about $70).

 

Same kind of thing would probably happen in reverse if you wanted to get a boxed ZX spectrum or BBC micro over to the U.S.
