829.0. "Wanted: Used 1080 monitor" by TALLIS::UTZIG () Tue Oct 20 1987 15:48

    I am looking for a used 1080 monitor.  Is there anyone out there
    thinking of upgrading who might be interested in selling theirs?
    Thanks,  Ned Utzig  (TALLIS::UTZIG).

    Why not call the Memory Location or the Software Shop to see if
    they have any used ones.  I wouldn't offer more than $250 for a
    used model.

    Where is "The Memory Location" ?  I called The Software Shop in
    Worcester, they were selling 1080's (new) for $325, but no used
    ones.  I was hoping to pick one up for under $250 ; I thought I
    saw New ones for $275 mail-order, so used should be cheaper...
    But of all the stores I've called, I have yet to find one selling
    used monitors.  -Ned

    	The Memory Location
    	396 Washington Street  (Rt 16, just west of the old playhouse)
    	Wellesley, MA  02181
    	617/237-6846
    
    Don Towne owns the place.  They deal in Commodore systems and software
    (C-64/128, Amiga, and PC-10) *exclusively*.  For $20, you can join
    their "club" and receive three basic benefits:
      -	10% discount on software & accessories 
    	(also extended to Digital employees who aren't members)
      -	access to their rental library (mostly games) at $3/week
      -	ability to consign used equipment for sale 
    	(They take a percentage of the sale price.)
    
    Beyond that, they're quite knowledgeable and friendly.  The Memory
    Location sets its prices a bit below list in most cases; with the 10%
    discount, you're not paying a big premium to do business with them.
