   I'm with Sean here. Particularly for the popular monitors like 1702s, 1902s   
   and 1084s, an intact monitor in good condition is going to fetch no less   
   than that because they can be used for anything. I have a friend who is an   
   Atari nut, and never misses a beat to slam Commodore computers (in a friendly   
   way ;-), but he adores Commodore monitors and uses a large number of them.   
      
   As far as 1802s and CM-141s, however, you'd have to pay *me* to take one.
