Re: whoever has IV on ebay

[charles@xxxxxxxx]

Oh, thanks, Adam. I tried bidding $30, but was told by ebay that I was (automatically) out-bid...so I'm dropping out, it's simply not worth more to me -but maybe it's worth a ton of dough to a collector. Good luck, and I certainly hope you get a few zillion for it. (I really should start going through all my old boxes...dang, maybe I can sell my previous box of IV for a lot of dough, if I can find it!!!)

Best, Charles

I'm the one selling XyWrite 4 on ebay.
I'm afraid you'll have to bid for it on ebay, like anyone/everyone else (because a bidding war is *exactly* what _I_ want!), but you absolutely will *not* be stuck with the $60 postage from Australia charge.
After the auction, before any payment, I'll be communicating with the lucky new owner and discussing what delivery arrangements are desired, and we'll go from there.
I will definitely be able to bring the box to the USA in June/July and mail it from California (to, say, Arizona) using whatever method is requested.
Happy bidding!

I'm, of course, hoping to avoid a bidding war, but I'm kinda assuming there won't be very many crazies like me who would like the whole package as it was originally (this will probably be the third time I have bought IV, and that's not even counting twice for NB and at least once for III....that's what happens when you move all over the place, and then entrust your old PC to a small-town computer shop which promptly "loses" your hard-drive; stuff keeps getting lost that you think you'll never use again...)
