What this GRiD pad worth?

[jonnyGURU]

I've got this GRiD pen computer. It's a 386 25 with a 40MB hdd, 8MB of RAM, battery, charger, floppy, etc.

I want to sell it. It doesn't sound like much on paper, but this little guy has a perfect use for the perfect user....

Because it's a pen computer, it's great to draw with and make web graphics (as well as play solitaire on long trips).

I actually used it to make a lot of graphics for my VW website (see this, this and this and this) while lounging around on the sofa, but I think it's time to retire it.

Does anyone think this thing is worth something to someone else where I could actually NOT give it away? I can't find a good "base" because anything I've seen on eBay is "for parts" and going for $20 and this sure as hell is not "for parts".

 

[Locutus of Board]

I'd maybe give you $20 for all the parts

 

[jonnyGURU]

Grrrr... :|

Its a 386, thats pretty much just novelty value to most people anymore, a 486 is barely tolerable I'd suggest putting it on ebay with like a $30 reserve and see how it does. Its $30 you didn't have before

 

[amnesiac]

I might be interested. Got a pic or link or anything?

 

[jonnyGURU]

It's not mine, but here's a picture of one that seems to be as in good of shape as mine.

Soy: It might be a 386, but that speed CPU sure doesn't effect it's usability one Iota.

I will discuss a price with you when we get around to finishing my mountain bike.

 

[weezergirl]

[Sluggo]

[yakko]

[weezergirl]

ha yakko

*waves*

 

[jonnyGURU]

Damn yakko.... we have to wait until AFTER we're done with the mountain bike. What other parts are you missing/forgot to buy/received wrong?

 

[SuperSix]

If it has a parallel port, and works with the TurboLink software, you could get ~ $100.00 for it from Turbo Buick guys, with help from a seasoned Buick community member of course.


And if it DOES have an LPT port..


/me digs for owed favors....

 

[jonnyGURU]

Hell yeah it's got a parallel port. It's got parallel, serial, SVGA out, PS/2 input...

Show me the money!

 

[SuperSix]

Money?

You wound me deeply Jonny.. Deeply..

 

[jonnyGURU]

If you've gotta stylus/tablet that I could plug into my desktop PC, I'd consider a trade.

I don't want to give up PC doodling... I just want to thin the collection a bit.

 

[yakko]

Just the brake is left if you already have the wheels done.

 

[jonnyGURU]

I don't have the wheels done...

Those nipples were in the baggy with the TP FD?

Nevermind.. I don't think I want to know.

Is it possible to hook up an IDE CD-Rom, that would certainly open up a lot of possibilities.

 

[yakko]

Yes they were. Did you lose them? Did the mailman steal them?
