I sold my 2720 and 2 4700 cabinets full of modules ( I had at least one of everything ), for $250.00 back in '78. Wish they had Ebay then. I could have been rich :) Some folks (bidders) just get caught up in the feeding frenzy, some are just stupid. At any rate the seller can't be blamed for making a buck. I personally would like to find a Gnome for cheap. -- James Holloway jimh54@... - email (972) 993-2023 x1188 - voicemail/fax ---- The Old Crow <oldcrow@...> wrote: > > On Thu, 1 Mar 2001, James Holloway wrote: > > > You guys need to lighten up a little.
