Hi Dick
>There is one little bit of information on the "naked" Mach III

semi naked or  semi nude(which ever you prefer)


>I emailed the seller,

so a typical case of "insider trading"!!
can i ask you?..do you FINALLY now have the missing crown for your first
Eyeball??

>
>So, you need to factor in a complete set of Phantom pieces in the price I paid.

well that blows my math out of the water
using your first Eyeball as a guide,then  the pieces alone are worth perhaps
$300-$400
so this would leave a negative value for the box and manual not to mention the
computer itself
:))

on a serious note..

when it comes to winning a fine computer such as the Designer Mach III ,if it
dosent cost much money(as in this auction)then it really dosent matter if it is
semi-naked

i think its only a mistake if one pays BIG bucks for an incomplete
computer,because in the end the collector only wind's  up buying another one to
get a complete set for it

in this case you will eventually wind up buying another one ,complete in the
box,but for $154 you at least will have this one to play until you find the
complete one
and then you will have a fine double to trade

not to mention you also got the Phantom pieces(although the legality of this
transaction will be reviewed by the schachcomputer police)

Federal Bureau Of Incomplete Computers Regards(FBI for short)
