He [?] did not quite sum up my feelings which were:

(a)	why would anyone buy a piece of ibm iron in the first place;

(b)	still more, why would anyone buy a piece of ibm "portable" iron;

(c)	why is this being offered here when there are so many other
	appropriate venues such as the "shoppers," those papers you
	get outside the supermarket, that have such items, as "two
	snowtires for 65 Valiant; want to trade for bound volumes
	of HUSTLER 1970-1972, or best offer" etc., etc.

(d)	has the poster considered Purple Heart or Good Will.  In my
	neighborhood, Good Will will even pick up (on certain days).
