Emax

I just sold my 100% rebuilt Emax 1(thank you Ted for the upgrade kit, you rock!) for $600, had 30+ watchers in two days and was gone soon after that, I also bought a turbo 2 last year on Craigslist (needed a drive) for $20.00. I was so elated that I gave my friend a spare 2122 as a Christmas gift. but the 30+ watchers so fast is telling me there is a growing demand ...

well said. That is my boat. I am wanting an emax2 for various reasons 
but waiting for the reasonable deal. 
and I don't want a rack. 

When I have like $300 I would pay that. 
Saying 150-200 seems a little low. 
But 700 seems high... 
So I am waiting..... 

greets, 
Ted

i paid $45 for my Emax rack (needed a new floppy drive)... there's no 
set 
rule, it's all about how badly someone else wants one and what they're 
willing to pay. as time marches on you're bound to see more of these 
go for 
higher prices... it will just take a little luck to find a good 
deal... or 
get a fixer upper.
