Title: Wanted: Sl-6000
Post by: xjqian on January 29, 2007, 12:25:41 pm
I'd like to get a second Z for development purpose. I thought about acquiring a clamshell, but finally decided to stay with Tosa, which will give me two identical machines for dev and testing.

Please PM me if you have a 6000L or 6000W for sale. I'm in the US. I hate paypal and ebay fees but no problem if required.

Interesting that this would pop up.  I have a 6000L that I used to do some embedded design, end result being a publishing.  I  now use the Z MUCH less than I used to use my Palm based device, for essentially a portable rolodex.

I spent the weekend going through the house looking for rarely used electronics to sell in order to raise money for a Macbook.  The Z was one of the things I'm thinking of selling.  BUT, there seems to be no recent indicator of it's cost.

Mine has a 60X 1G SD card, and a 4G CF Microdrive.  Firmware is original, and I've installed ZGCC and some other stuff on it.

 I've also got two docking sleds, a single power supply, an adaptor for an iGo universal power supply, a custom serial cable (RS-232) and the expansion pack.  I've ALWAYS kept the glass protected with plastic.  (Until I did my presentation.  The plastic made the display show REALLY bad on camera.)  Since then, it's been sitting lonely.

It's not for sale yet, but could be very easily.  What price could that list of stuff get me?

I noticed a 6000 for sale on ebay, and it also has the rare
expansion sled.  I've toyed with the idea of getting rid of my
6000 also, but can't seem to bring myself to part with it just yet.
Unfortunately mine has some small screen scratches from the
previous owner, and no flip cover, so I doubt I'll ever get enough
for it to be able to let it go.  I'm also curious as to the worth of
the 6000 these days, and wondering what the one on ebay will
sell for, but again it is complex, since it includes the expansion
sled which is very rare.

WOW, that's a lot of goodies, esp with the sled. I would say at least $650, if not more, if I were you. The fact is that I've already got my own set of accessories. So a vanilla 6000L or 6000W without extras suites me best.

It's closing at $250-$350 on ebay, depending on extras.

Yeah, I think I'm going to sell it.
I've got this museum of computers I'm going to sell, and the Z seems to be the only way to get myself up to serious cash for a Macbook.

I'll put a note on Craigslist for the Atlanta Area asking $800 later today.  Let's see what happens.

I'd be very interested in buying an expansion sled for mine, when I get it fixed.

Please post a link when you do. I'm interested in the 6000L itself. Maybe speculatrix and I can split the deal, as I've already got a sled.

Arg, I missed this piece. Do you really mean two sleds? WOW, that's rare. If so, I don't mind get another sled. Let me know, thanks.

I'm definitely up for a sled, so xjqian, I'll back you up on this deal. I accept fully that P&P to England won't be cheap and will be my responsibility.

There you go.  I may regret this, but I'll consider parting stuff out.

Just noticed, someone asked if I had two expansion sleds.   To clarify, I have two DOCKING sleds and one EXPANSION sled

The OESF forum was down for two days before I was on a ship without internet connection for a week. Now I'm back. Has this been sold?

I tried emailing @charter.net but it failed. I am still interested in the sled please!

I still have all my components.   And... I managed to get hold of funds for the Macbook, so I don't need to sell anything.

However, I do think that I have no real use for the expansion sled.  I'd like to research how much previous sales of the sled went for.  Possibly offer the one sled w/ battery up for sale.

I think a lot of people want one.  At least that's the way it was
a while back, when the 6000 was more popular.  I might even
be inclined to bid on one.  I have a battery extender, but it
is bulky, and the extra CF card slot would be really useful to me,
assuming it works with pdaXrom of course.

I will need to sell something myself on ebay to be able to
purchase it, so if you are thinking of putting it up on ebay
soon, please let us know!  Thanks!

The sled CF slot is NOT working currently in either pdaXrom1.1.0 beta1 or OZ 3.5.4.rc2 .  It may be simply a pcmcia script bug.

Btw, i will bid for speculatrix if he's not able to do it himself.

still looking forward to putting Tosa^2 in my sig. I'm offering $280 for the unit. I can provide prepaid DHL shipping label. I am interested in the unit (with orginal box, etc.)  only. But pm me if you have to bundle access for sale.

us$400 for a Tosa with accessories is quite a good price - when Sharp dis'd them and the last brand new ones were being sold off the Tosa alone was selling for well over 400!

the biggest issue with the Tosa is spare batteries.

Well, you've overestimated my buying power. Besides, I've got too many accessories already.
