Yeah, you'd BETTER get both of those on eBay, to have one for spares! Having bought a machine from a well-known machine tool broker that was listed in "Excellent Condition" and then spent 22 months rebuilding it, I'd be REAL wary of such a listing.
Dreamers is right! My guess is a real customer would pay $1500 or so for one of those, unless he had great familiarity with the internals and reliability of that model. As for the one in your building, it could be an easy fix, if it has a PC motherboard. It could be as simple as reseating connectors, blowing out dust, checking power supply voltages. Or, it might need a new floppy, head cleaning, drive replacement. That sort of stuff is probably obtainable with modest difficulty, except replacing the software floppy if no spare is hidden in the back of the machine. Hopefully it is 5.25" and not 8" floppy.
