Go up one level in this thread


>And you also bought a very nice Impos Royale not too long ago.  Not a rare item,
>but still of enough import to consider.

yes   ..

of course i have paid MEGA  bucks this year for several computers but not on
Ebay


this year i picked up:
Fidelity Elite A/G V6
a second Novag Robot
a Mephisto Tournament machine(with all of the original Eproms)
the Resurrection modules and Royale board

and some other minor portables

all private purchases

the cheapest of the lot was the Robot
came with dust cover,pieces,manual(in the binder) and printer card
i wont mention what i paid but i will say..i paid less then a recent Robot that
sold privatly   that one sold for over 6 times what i paid

but i paid a very high price for the V6 and TM machines

however i was comforted in the knowledge that i was following the "Dick
Schneider school of collecting"

you pay high for some items(Eyeball Phantom)
and low for others(CC1)
and the average cost evens out

yes you might
:))

one thing about my collecting philosophy

once i get a complete set for a computer(manual box etc etc) i cross it off my
search list and move on


you wont catch me with 6 6100 phantoms
