Or even a stutter on the keyboard. I'd say even a $99.00 opening bid would be
reasonable for this lot, and in fact I would probably bid on it at that price.
My early (i.e. 60's/70's) catalog collection is quite lacking and this would
fill it in nicely.
Speaking of catalogs, how many of you that got 8480s at Zany Brainy found
an interesting catalog in one? Of the four I bought, I found 1 1996 Japanese
catalog instead of the standard US Technic catalog. I was quite surprised.

| (...) It's just strange but I have the same 1996 Japanese catalog from my only 8480, BUT it was purchased in TURKEY, and it must have been a regular European Technic catalog instead. Strange..:-) Selçuk (24 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)
