I think you've hit on the real key.  I still have my MacPlus on a shelf (I
hope to try and see if it boots sometime this year -- it's not been on in
about three years) and I'll be keeping the Duo230 with the MacPlus's HD
copied to it (to run Sys6 & 7 stuff on), and my daughter will be getting one
of the 280c's.  When I get to the point of moving up from the machines I'm
using, I'll try to sell the surplus, but at this point I don't figure a 280c
is going to fetch doodly.  Even the value of a 2400 is soon going to be
below the "decision threshold" for getting one of the new Powerbooks, i.e.,
it's going to make a relatively small dent in whether you can afford the new
machine.
