It's not like we're talking about a barn find covered in pidgeon poop. You'd be amazed at how much a barn find covered in pidgeon poop goes for If it works, if it's got all the bits, and a good story then sure, the sky's the limit

Steve, Those "kind of geese-bird" geese are indeed geese, known (appropriately enough) as Canadian Honkers. I usually have a gaggle or at least a pair hanging around the pond on my farm as they migrate through. It's not at all surprising that you could hear them 5 stories up. You could

Uncommon, certainly. But rarity isn't always the primary factor driving price. Sometimes it's desirability. Apparently, enough people covet this machine to pay 4 figures for one. Sellam On Mon, Apr 17, 2023, 9:51 AM Christopher Zach via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > A 9825a is rare?

There is a gentlemen in New Jersey willing to sell his HP9825A I believe he is the original owner. It has 4 ROM cartridges (that go in the front) and several data cartridges for the slot on the top left. He is asking $2000 but can probably negotiate (as he didn't find any takers in VCF East).
