Subject: Collectors Corner..My Dream Ebay Auction

Seldom does a really rare computer ever appear on Ebay

the vast majority of the chess computers offered for auction are run of the mill
computers such as Fidelity CC7'S, Radio Shack clones,Excalibur retreads
,etc.etc.
usually the computer is missing something like the box or a manual or both
the pieces(if even present) are generally never 32 but something like 19 pieces
with 3 Queens

when a rare computer does rear its head, it is usually offered at a high opening
bid price for a long 10 day auction..

payment and delivery terms for rare computers are usually very inconvenient such
as..CASH ONLY
not to mention delivery ,,which is generally..PICK UP ONLY  with the computer
located in some remote location such as..Easter Island(2000 miles off the coast
of Chile)

announcements are made on the various Dedicated chess computer sites by the
seller alerting everyone to the auction

i have even gotten private e-mails by sellers i dont even know, pointing me to
their auction


My Dream Ebay auction is as follows:

Opening Bid-$1
BUY IT NOW-$10
Paypal happily accepted and indeed.. preferred
Will Ship Worldwide(will deliver computer to your front door if requested)

Item Description:
Computer is COMPLETE with original box,manual,full piece set and original
packing material

TESTED AND WORKING
condition..never used ..as NEW
