I've got a slightly used Epson 2500 24 pin color printer that I'd like to sell. It comes with the color option installed. I'm asking for $275 (which includes shipping) and this also includes two color ribbons and two new black ribbons. The specs for the Epson 2500: 24 pin dot-matrix speed: 370 cps draft (10 pitch) 90 cps LQ (10 pitch) 5 LQ fonts Wide carriage (132 characters) can interface with MAC/IBM has serial AND parallel connections push/pull tractor feed color option installed LED display panel for setting up printer also included: printer manual and Epson's printer programmer manual (cost ~$30), 2 color(1 new, 1 used) ribbons, 3 black ribbons(2 new,1 used); A few years back, this was one of Epson's high-end printers, listing at over $1400. 8^0 Now it's been replaced with the Epson LQ2550, which runs about $849 (without shipping). It also "lists" for ~$1500, if that tells you anything about Epson's suggested retail pricing strategy...... 8-P If you're looking for a decent color (dot-matrix) and don't don't want to pay the premium for the LQ2550, this printer is for you. Also, if you think I'm asking too much, feel free to make me an offer, but if it's AFTER Friday, Dec. 18th, please call my home phone number, as I cannot answer the work phone after that date and I will not have access to internet after Friday (until next year). thanks, Mike email: peterson@antares.mcs.anl.gov (only until 12/18/92!) work: (708) 252-5941 (only until 12/18/92!) home: (708) 941-0218 please leave message if I'm not there -- _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ "Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant.
