So I emailed FG, a few days later received a reply that basically said "you have to be kidding, why the heck should we waste our time, btw we have this store that has great stuff it in with prices higher than Ebay even with shipping.
Oh .. I was in the 'hood so I dropped in, let's see a as-is Mac cube thing, said AS-IS $25, a crappy Dell desktop, the ones the sell on CL for $10 or Goodwill (with their > $750K CEO) for $20-30, price $100 with 1GB memory. How about a USB (not C) cable for $5. PC keyboard with a missing key for $5. 17" LCD for $80, same model as the one I got at Goodwill for $20. Old DC-600 tape cartridges marked down to $18 from $25, AS-IS no return. Sure glad I didn't go out of my way.
