If you know the 'official' value of a used XT clone with 640K memory and a multi-function card, please e-mail me. Thanks. My friend has a used IBM PC/XT clone (three years old) for sale. He'd like to know how much he can sell it. I remember seeing blue books for PC's in my campus bookstore long time ago but I could not find one when I visited there last weekend.

Re: market prices for used computers Try looking in the Computer Currents (or is it MicroTimes?) periodical; they print the current prices of various used personal computers and peripherals (sorta like the WallStreet Journal of PCs). There is an LA version of Computer Currents, but I don't know about MicroTimes.

They come out twice a year and a new one is about due. I have utterly no idea how the prices compare with reality, but they do a fair job of covering the market. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be any good way of assigning value to clones. I have an XT and an AT bought from a local dealer with a good reputation, but neither of them have a nameplate on the front. "No name" to the nth degree! How do you put a value on these types of machines, especially if you're not an experienced technician who can speak Chinese? Got me... -- James S.
