Dude.. Look at what is he selling.. sure it is only a 286, 
but his prices are resonable:
Here's what I think these parts are worth..

motherboard , 286chip , and 2MB RAM: $120
IBM VGA montor			 $200
20 MB HDD			 $15
1.44 MB floppy			 $10
2400/9600 FAX modem		 $10
and misc other stuff...

Gee... that works out to be $5 more than he was asking

Don't be an asshole and flame people for selling items that are not
very much in demand. His prices are fair. In fact, in looking on page 495
of a recent issue of Computer Shopper [ Feb ], I find a refurbished system
with only 1 Meg of RAM ,and  no mouse for $395.

		If you felt his prices were unreasonable, it would have
	been much more constructiveto just say it.
