Can't keep everything, keep saying it, now for some action!

Here are two working HP85 computers. The s/n are 2105A22884 and 2220A66919.

Come with one data cartridge, moves smoothly, 82903K 16K memory, 82936A ROM with I/O and plotter/printer, and 82937A HP-IB interface.

Both basically work, see photos, but no other testing has been done.

Price 120GBP for all the items, postage in mainland UK would be 14GBP. A little more for highlands and islands, a little more still into Europe.

Hi, great lot indeed!
I'm interested, just a few questions:

1) Price slightly negotiable?
2) Could I arrange my own courier (collection on a date to suit you, of course)?
3) Could I receive some more pics to document cosmetical condition of the units - I see one is missing a key, no other missing parts, no cracks in plastics etc ?

Thanks!

They are both marked as 85, not 85B, but how would I tell the difference?

Price seems reasonable to me. Using your own courier isn't a problem.

Some more photos, they are both incredibly grubby but I can't see any obvious signs of cracks or damage to the cases. Yes, the one key is missing, the number 1 keycap binds so autorepeats, tape drive is jammed hence error message, not looked inside.

85b is labeled as such. Your pictures show two 85a machines. iMHO these machines would sell easier by parts: crt, printer, keyboard, etc. Tape drives are probably out of order but you can sell the other parts. Your price seems very reasonable to me.
 
Still here, fed up tripping over them, anyone want them?

Still think the price is reasonable though!
 
I said I would take them, but that was before I got a job, and so havn't had time to collect, so as far as I know they are still there. Where are you?

Sorry mate - I mistook your last message as the seller!

Of course I wasn't trying to push in front of you. It is indeed a good price and hope you have a successful purchase :)
 
Yup! "this message is too short, being lengtheeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnneeeeeedddd"
 
Who is interested in these?

Seem to have simplex, g4ugm and gingpeakin?

I am really interested. Can you still send them for £14? That seems quite reasonable to me.
