[GreenKeys] $10,000.00 for Model 32

[Ralph Irish]

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 the
business, but I see and hear those that are involved talking about it all the time.  That was the case a few
months back, when we were bidding on something, in the "Make Offer" area.  It sold, and someone outbid us, and
we 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 flak
in the form of 'questions' from people who knew better.  The blind sale price allows sellers to save a little
face after trying to fleece the public.

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.
