Go up one level in this thread
However that said, the last couple of months I have become addicted to searching >out your posts and to look in detail at some of the fabulous items you post >links for . > >I just wish I could afford to buy something like an Elite and wish also maybe so >many collector's didn't exist, therefore lowering the price of such items for >people like ME! hi Sarah i thank you for those kind words i hold the same exact opinion as you regarding the high prices now seen on Ebay for chess computers i am not at all pleased that it takes a good portion of ones life savings to buy a nice chess computer let me add that it wasn't always this way on Ebay these "over the top" prices seen as of late are more of a recent development which hopefully will soon pass. > >Do you think you could post as many good links as you can to dedicated >computers. Places to buy, information, user pages, manufacturers pages etc. Then >I can save them and read some more about these beautiful items. well i certainly will try i have been posting more now then usual because of a recent car accident which has me home bound and with more free time,but once my wounds heal my posting will go back to normal levels,which for me was 2-3 per night for the new models no place is better then our sponsor..ICD www.chessusa.com for the older computers however Eric Hallsworth of Selective Search maintains a list of second hand computers at very reasonable prices you might want to check in there every now and again: http://www.elhchess.demon.co.uk/specials.htm you mentioned the Fidelity Elite which shows you have good taste in an effort to feed your newly found addiction ,below are some photos of my Elite Avant Guarde Version 9 Fidelity released the Elite A/G in 12 different versions. in Version 9 they outfitted the computer with a 68030 processor if you look at the serial number closely you will notice it is no.10 only about 50 version 9's were made http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cpaa2@sbcglobal.net/detail?.dir=3353&.dnm=3544.jpg&.src=ph http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cpaa2@sbcglobal.net/detail?.dir=3353&.dnm=edbd.jpg&.src=ph sometimes a nice wooden case costs even more then a chess computer but without the original box one has to think of something: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cpaa2@sbcglobal.net/detail?.dir=3353&.dnm=43fc.jpg&.src=ph Best Regards Steve
