[NTLK] Newton hardware for sale

[Helmut Fischer]

Dear Newtonians,

I have been a list member since (with interruptions) the nineties and soon became a Newton collector. I was a Newton user then, but soon moved to the lightweight, shirt pocket size Palm Pilot family which I used for many years (from the m100 to the T/X and Treo 680) until I became an iPhone user. I still have entries in my address book which have been generated on my first MP120 with NOS 1.x and which have migrated all the way from there to my current iPhone.

I still follow the list and admire the work many of you have been doing, even in recent years. But I don't use my green friends any more since a long time ago, so I decided now to give away most of what I have in boxes on the shelf.

I would be happy if this collection ends up in the hands of people who want to use them, that's one reason to offer them here. And, to be honest: it's much easier than offering them on auction platforms, and I trust you more :-)

What follows is a list of items, with an idea what could be a reasonable price. Feel free to let me know if the price is unrealistic.

If desired, I can make photos and send them to people who ask for them. If I find the time, I will make a Dropbox folder where I store them and share the link.

I live in Germany, so shipping within this country would be easy and cheap, within the EU it would be easy and more expensive. For shipping to overseas: no idea what would be the safest and least expensive way. We would have to find out together.

All items with removable batteries come without them.

Offers including several items will get preference over single item offers. Feel free to make offers for many items :-)

Prices are meant to be in Euros, for US$ multiply by 1.15

For offers please contact me off-list: h_fischer at gmx.de

Disclaimer: these are private offers, no warranty, no liability, no returns

Here comes the list:
