SOL-20s have been all over the map. Ive seen similar units diverge by as much
as $500 for nothing obvious I can see. The average for unknown, complete,
decent cosmetic condition seems to be around $900. With extras probably $1300?

Subject: Reasonable price for a complete SOL-20 system?
I have an opportunity to make a "reasonable offer" on a fairly complete SOL-20
system. It would include a floppy drive cabinet and some software, but no
monitor. It's a "working when retired" system, so I assume that the keyboard
has died of old age and some capacitors might have dried out; none of that
bothers me, but it implies that it's probably not a turnkey system. I have to
make the offer or not by tonight, based on when the owner is leaving on a road
trip that will pass near me, with or without the system loaded up in his RV.
Now the problem is that I haven't been following SOL-20 prices, so I don't know
what a reasonable offer might be. The only prices I'm aware of are the various
buy-it-now prices I see on eBay, some or all of which I suspect are from
sellers looking for top dollar and then some.
If any of y'all can help me figure out a reasonable price range for a
complete-ish but not necessarily running SOL-20 system, I would appreciate that.
