You HAVE to be kidding!  Old 800's go for $35, $45 TOPS!  I paid 
$40 for my 48k machine with GTIA chip.

Now that isn't a bad price.

>Indus GT 5.25" disk drive                           150.00

You can buy one brand new for $20 more.

Hey man, for $350.00, you're just ASKING for put-downs.  Nothing
personal.
