So you've got a Z80-based CP/M machine in the "luggable" form factor
with it's retro appeal, looks to be in good condition, thus it's a bit
of computer history that has some value -- but not 49K.

I have a working IBM 5155 Portable, working Epson FX800 printer and
working Epson CX21 acoustic coupler. For 100 Grands I ship it anywhere
in the world via airfreight. Delivery within a week.
