Yes, of course.  I should have said they are not worth that much to me. 
If someone has one of these they will almost certainly get more for it
there (ebay) than they will from me.  If they don't want to muck around
with ebay though, I'm here!  Plus I will give that PII 400 for free to
the list, so someone's generosity will have a follow on benefit.

Thanks for the explanation on the slot 1 values.  I had guessed
something along those lines.  I've been watching the slot 1 prices
continue to increase over the past year and its getting frustrating.  At
some point they will have to drop, won't they?  Unfortunately, I could
use a little speed boost now.

Cheers,
Gary
