They typically run around 100 dollars last time I looked. I'm interested.

Subject: [ts2068] hi there!!
i have recently acquired a ts2068, new..in the box, styrofoam, in the plastic.. with a tape drive..is there much of a market for these machines?? i'm not going to open it, i want to keep it as pristine as when i got it..and being i am not really a hard core computer guy, was hoping to give it a better home than in the back of my closet collecting dust...
im thinking of e-baying it,but would rather someone who would appreciate it have it..anyone interested??

There's hardly any market at all. Although a better machine then the ZX specturum, even in its day it had no support at all, either from the manufacturer or third party, on top of that it came too late to market, being an 8bit computer in a 16bit world, In America, was the final nail in the coffin. Aside from the few of us geeks, you'd be hard pressed to even find people who know what the machine is. Unlike a C64 or Amiga for example

Thanks for offering it up here. If you find no takers, it should do quite well on ebay.

Dude just checked the listing. I sell on ebay all the time $48 shipping seems a wee bit high. The last one that sold, was 62.00 with 15 dollars shipping.
