Hamfest went OK. Made $500.00 and an extra $100.00 for the wife who promply left hamfest for the mall. No Model 200 found. Saw a real clean Model 100 w/Interactive Solutions ROM, PDD1, battery powered printer (thermal or ribbon cartridge), Bar Code Reader, host of software, and Tandy 2' by 1' travel case. Priced Saturday $200. Priced Sunday $150. Offered $80 at closing time (w/o printer) but no sale. Last year same system was priced $300. I can wait another year. Sold old IBM-XT for $16. No interest until I plugged it in and left ProComm brag screen - then some interest showed. Convinced guy the Hayes 2400 b.p.s. modem board alone was worth $5, so a whopping 256K RAM, two 5-1/4 floppies, and a 20M hard drive had to be worth another $10. Tough sale - he figured his kids would use it and keep them away from his 586, so if I carried it to his car he'd go $16. Like I said - tough sale!
