It is for sale - everything that I feel is redundant or can be replaced=20=
in the US (the //c, not the display which I simply don't make use of),=20=
but I suspect it might be expensive. My //c system cost =A3200, and I=20
don't really want to split the display - but even with those scratches=20=
(there are scratches in the bottom left quadrant), the display cost me=20=
$197+shipping to the UK - and to be honest I thought I'd got a bargain=20=
at that, even with the scratches - the one just prior to it sold for=20
nearly $800 IIRC.
They're illegible (by design - the greenscreen isn't behind it for=20
show) and that one is missing the clips that hold it to the //c as well=20=
as having those scratches. I think I will get my =A3200 (or more) on UK=20=
eBay, but partly because //cs - $5 junk in the US - often sell for over=20=
=A3100. The LCD display, I can't even imagine what that would do to the=20=
auction!
Only Apple things not for sale are some of the upgrades in my IIe=20
Platinum (which are loaned), and my IIgs which was built by shipping=20
stuff over from the US anyway, and would cost as much there to replace.=20=
Even then, I'd consider it if someone in the UK offered me enough - but=20=
given that the RamFAST SCSI card often sells for over 200 Euros, they'd=20=
have to offer a /lot/!
