Re: Getting off the ground

The seller is listing these at Buy it now for 99 cents! - brand new in the box.
For that, how can you go wrong? Ok, the shipping - but that's our postal problem, not the sellers fault.
After all, I don't think you're gonna' find these on the shelf at Best Buy for a dollar :)

Re: New PCjr fan

Now here's a twist. I won a PCjr. on eBay the other day for basically the shipping costs. Trouble is now the seller says he 'accidentally' mailed it to someone else. I took the offered refund on the deal, partially because I don't know whether to believe the guy or not. Perhaps selling his PCjr. for...

Re: New PCjr fan

The Jr. I won was described as: Fully working PC Jr. with a JrCaptain Sidecar module that adds a parallel port and extra RAM, the power supply, wireless IR keyboard, and a joystick. No monitor. There was a monitor screenshot to show the unit working though. It was this item 260593530275 on eBay. My ...

New PCjr fan

Hi, it's just me, no need to get up. I'll be brief. I'm joining in to learn about the Jr. I've wanted one for some time and I just scored one off eBay for next to nothing - except the shipping :) I haven't had an IBM since '93 when I bought my first PC which was an IBM PS/1 Consultant. Before that i...
