Via Crunchgear via Reddit via Twitter via kijiji. Someone should've just sent it here first.

"Poke fun at this vintage computer sale all you want, but it’s actually not that bad of a deal for the right person. Think about it. What you’re getting for only $60 is a near-mint IBM PS/2 Model 60. Hook this puppy up and record your life just like the original blogger: Doogie Howser, M.D."

Does not have special drivers for the Bernoulli drive. This means that live removal and insertion doesn't work.

Usability of the Irwin tape drive is unknown. The drive appears to run properly. There is only one tape, which has never been used. The original drive capstan roller has been replaced with vinyl.

Original price was $5,684 in 1987.
