[GreenKeys] $10,000.00 for Model 32

Pete,
He must have come pretty close to the $10,000 because I offered $9,999.95 and he turned me down - I figured it was worth it because it had the GE logo on the hood and it was shiny.

There is a way to find the sold price
- do a search on all the sellers items- then do a search on a keyword, teletype and limit it to sold items- then start a binary search of the upper sold price, to low and the item will not show up, to high and it will- stop when you feel you are close enought

When something on eBay sells in the "Make Offer" category, the actual sale price is not divulged.  I work at a store where a lot of deals are made, buying and selling, on eBay.  I'm not at all involved in that part of thebusiness, but I see and hear those that are involved talking about it all the time.  That was the case a fewmonths back, when we were bidding on something, in the "Make Offer" area.  It sold, and someone outbid us, andwe never knew by how much.
So, the 'wizard' looking for $10K for a Model 32 likely sold it for a few hundred, after getting a lot of flakin the form of 'questions' from people who knew better.  The blind sale price allows sellers to save a littleface after trying to fleece the public.

Luckily, there are only a few of these idiots out there - most guys are super to deal with. Last month I picked up two M15's for ten bucks each and one of them is in fantastic conditions. Can't wait to find the time to tackle the other one, bring it back to live and let somebody else have it for free or donate the machine to a school to get some teen geeks inspired. Nick  -  N0NCQ

Subject: [GreenKeys] $10,000.00 for Model 32 eBay just sent me a notice that the Model 32 has sold!  Not sure I believe it. And not sure I want to meet the idiot that paid that much!!

Although I might rethink my policy of giving my machines away for $0.00.  Maybe I should put a $10,000.00 price tag on the 14 or 15 different pieces of TTY equipment I had planned on moving to good homes for free!

Not!!!!!  All my gear will be available just for you coming to pick it up when I decide to move it out.
