Subject: Re: Selling a Xerox 820-II Computer (no drives)

I'm using just such a beastie right now.  It's a Xerox 820-II with 2 disc 
drives (did not come with modem).  It was given to me & that may be some 
indication of it's true value; however, I'm glad to have it to bbs with.  
I understand that it was purchased from someone else for $60 total.  I
have also seen an ad for one for $100.  So, I guess it's true value is 
whatever you can get for it, somewhere in the range between $60 & $100.  
  
You might try posting an ad on Gateway Houston in the wants-ads message 
base.  Gateway Houston has a large videotel audience, because it's a rare 
bbs that can be accessed with a U.S. Videtel videobox.  Many of the 
videobox users would gladly throw away their videoboxes if there were an 
affordable alternative (they cannot bbs anywhere else with the 
videoboxes).  Gateway's phone numbers are:  723-3981, 723-2820, 723-3619 
(it has 5 other lines for videobox access).  
  
But I think someone would to have a disc drive to use it for bbs-ing.
