This system is in the category of "value equals shipping cost or less" - So, if you sell locally you could expect $20-50 depending on whether you have the manuals and disks. If there's something unique about the system you might try Ebay, but considering the shipping cost, someone'd really have to want it.

What kind of floppy drives does it have? I've got some Windows OS on 5.25" floppies.

This was a model line, there was more than one type. My particular model...let me check...a PS/1 Consultant Model G82....has both a 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" drive, both high density. 1993, not quite vintage yet.

One other comment...I value these computers, probably more than the market. I bought mine for $14.14 at a thrift shop. It included the PS/1 monitor and IBM mouse/keyboard.
I would hold onto it, or find someone who will appreciate it - not worth selling, but worth keeping.

Hi Sparty411,
Does it have a 5.25" floppy? If so, list it on eBay for starting $20. I'll bid it if the drive works. I used to have an IBM AT, vintage about 1984, but it died and I tossed the remains many years ago. Wish I hadn't. I found some old notes I made on 5.25" floppies and I'd like to read them now and can't.
