Hi all,
Just wanted to say thanks to all for the suggestions about the Perkins
brailler. I have to say, the idea of seeling it on EBay was quite a
surprise, but then, I have heard you can sell *anything there. I'm going to
take some time and look into it, and try and see where the brailler could be
best utilized, and then I'll decide. But you guys came up with some great
ideas that I would not have thought of and I appreciate the help.
Take care,
Donna

Hello:
Refurbished Perkins Braillers are routinely sold on Ebay for $250 and
up. You ought to be able to get from $100-$150 for your machine.
Regards,
Robert Jaquiss

Try selling it on ebay. Really. Or try putting an add in the Braille
forum (ACB) the Monitor (NFB) or Ziegler. Someone out there wants them
as they always have want ads for them.

Hi all,
Sorry for sending yet another OT post, but I have a situation that I
thought folks from this list might be able to help with.
Last night my husband was working out in the garage, and stumbled upon
the old Perkins Brailler that my parents bought me when I was just
starting school. I have to say, these things are truly amazing, and
could almost convince one to become a Ludite. They're built like tanks!
I've had mine for over thirty-five years, and it still works as well as
it did the day I got it! Now i can't think of *anything you could buy
today that would last that long. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't really
want to trade in my PC or Pacmate and go back to the old days, but I
think we really lost something when we traded in durability and
longevity for a throw-away culture.
Anyway, my little musings aside, I don't want this thing to just go
into a land-fill somewhere, but I'm honestly not sure I'd ever use it
again. Does anyone know someone or someplace that might actually have a
use for it?
Thanks,
Donna
