Sorry about the top-posting, there's something wrong with Outlook. Itself.
But unfortunately it syncs well with Windows Mobile.
I have been surprised by the amount of money VZ200's have been selling for
this year. Another recently went for $99 Buy It Now, similar to what you
purchased.
I am glad I pieced my collection together a few years ago when they were a
whole lot cheaper!

Hi
I bought the VZ200 on Ebay. I seem to always have competition when I buy
computers on Ebay. I don't think $91 is a lot for what I got although it was
not tested.
It works, the case has some burn markings but does not look too bad. Both
the computer and memory have "EB300520Q" etched on them( Some sort of QLD
drivers licence?)
The computer also came with the original demo tape, a tennis tutorial and a
blank tape (to be investigated)
One particular thing that I found interesting is that the attenna lead had a
300ohm transformer, something I have not seen since I had my VZ200 running
on my black and white TV in the 80's.
There are not too many things you can buy for $91 that can bring so many
happy memories and kickstart an interest in 8 bit programming.
