NeXT computer educational package has the following prices:

Base Model:

NeXT  Computer 		$6,500
8MB RAM
256 MB Optical Drive
MegaPixel Display
NeXT Keyboard
NeXT Mouse
NeXT Bundled Software

Options:

330MB Hard Disk		$2,000
660MB Hard Disk		$4,000

400dpi Laser Printer	$2,000

(The above prices are obtained from the NeXT Representative at U.C.Berkeley,
and were also heavily advertised by Steve Jobs when he made the anouncement)

According to this price list, Burt's computer was most likely purchased for
$10,500 ($6,500 base Model +$2,000 HD +$2,000 Laser Printer) since he is at
UCSF where the educational price applies. And he wants to sell a used one for
$16,500 to make some quick cash?

I seriously doubt if one wants to spend 16 grand for a used computer doesn't
care to call in the Manufacturer to check the latest price for a NEW one.
