     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
