[net.micro.trs-80] Resale cost of a Mod I

ajf@pyuxa.UUCP (A Figura) (07/27/84)

[ Hi mom! ]

Does anyone in netland have a rough idea of how much I should ask
for a used (~4 year old) Model I, with 48K RAM, RS-232, one-disk
(double density modification in place) and lower-case.
(All RS standard equipment).  Everything's still working fine,
but I'm thinking of upgrading to a 16-bit micro (still undecided on the
brand).

Thanks.

Well, considering that a 64K 2-disk Model 4 is running $1299, I think
you could probably aim in the $600-700 range; some may think that high,
others low....( I think I'd ask $650 and negotiate..)

	To get the most money out of
your old Model I you should sell the
accessories (sp?) seperate. ESPECIALLY
the disk drives.
	I saw in our Trading Times
paper that some one was selling a
Model I 48k 4 disk drives for $500-$600.
The disk drives would get at least
that much if sold by themselves!
	You will probably end up in
the end with the keyboard and the
monitor.

When I bought my TRS-80 MOD1, I got it for $1000+.  I have a MOD I, 48K, one
disk drive and a printer (not very good printer, I might add), and it was
used, but in good condition.  Therefore, I would probably ask $900-
$1000, negotable(sp).
