The selling point for me was the fat woman in the background of the second photo.

LOLOL. I like the 'fancy' table cloth that adds a richness to the whole listing.

Shipping seems a little high.

Meanwhile, in the land of overpriced floppy disks...

This one wins. I mean a compete 1996 Pentium Pro system, fair enough - you can't download one of those. But some floppies someone found behind their sofa???

Dammit, I should have kept those AOL diskettes. Who would have known the potential value!

The lot does contain 99 CDROMs in addition to the 2 floppy disks, though I still think the price is a bit steep (unless one happens to be a collector of AOL CDROMs 😁)

Whats missing in your collections?

I'd only see that price reasonable if it was still in the shrink wrap tbh.

another overpriced 430tx mobo, I understand if it will be "sealed"

Oh lordy! ONE expansion slot? 🤣

Yup. It's an either/or thing. I won't credit the CNR/AMR plug by calling it a slot. Maybe 1/2 a slot if I'm feeling generous.

BIN 399.99 USD. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
