Contec IPC-BX/M600

This Particular Thing

This thing is a fanless industrial PC, running (I believe) Windows 2000, with a wide variety of output ports. It's got 128MB of RAM and a 120 GB IDE HDD.

Working well, no issues. There's some superficial rust on the metal covers of some of the ports. Has an old copy of Windows 2000 Professional installed.

But More Generally

Independent operator working out of a house in downtown Toronto. I try to keep it weird.

I've been doing eBay for more than 25 years. Back in grade twelve I flipped some notable parts of my Dungeons and Dragons collection and was immediately consumed with heartbroken dismay. Ever since then I've been scouring the secondhand world on a quest to replace those books, but all I can find is a bunch of other stuff. This shop is where I sell it off so I can afford to keep searching. Some say that if I ever rebuild my collection, the curse will be broken and I will liquidate my entire inventory at once. More cynical prophets have foretold that I will continue the great loop by flipping those books too.

Anyway, I find this stuff in the wild, and I try to be good at looking. If you need something in particular, let me know.

Keeping It Chill
	If you live in or around Toronto, I can take cash and make deliveries in person. I'm not going to travel four hours to drop off a ten-dollar purchase (you would be surprised how many people ask for this) but I can usually deliver within reason. Tip: consider living near something fascinating, profitable or delicious.

Sending Boxes In The Mail

I'm not making money on shipping. As an eBay seller I get discount rates from shipping companies. I pass them on, which is why my shipping is relatively cheap.

By default I'm shipping with Canada Post or the cheaper tier of FedEx or UPS options. If you need next-day shipping, let me know and I'll get you a custom quote.

If you're within Canada and you're seeing a shipping cost between $1 and $6, that's letterpost. It almost always doesn't get lost, but it doesn't have tracking. I use letterpost for shipping things that are small, light, flat and inexpensive, since nobody wants to pay $20 shipping on a $5 thing. But if you want tracking on a cheap item, let me know and I'll get you a custom quote.

I ship almost everywhere. If eBay's shipping calculator doesn't show a shipping rate for your country, let me know and I'll get you a custom quote.

I'm great at packing. I routinely ship oversized vintage CRT TVs, which are basically the final boss of packing. Whenever needs be I use custom-built cardboard cartons and shock-absorbent packing foam. I know about double-boxing and securing loose items internally.

Fun eBay Facts
	Everything I send out is fully insured and tracked with the exception of Canada Post lettermail, which you can read all about above. Outside Canada, everything is going to include insurance and tracking. If an item's worth more than $100, I include a handling fee to cover the cost of buying extra insurance. I don't generally accept returns for buyer's remorse. I make a point of highlighting potential issues with my items, describing them accurately, and testing them within my ability. But I buy shipping insurance for a reason: if your item arrives damaged, you're getting your money back. If you have any problem with your purchased item, please bring it up with me before you post feedback. I'm pretty chill to talk to, right?

If You've Read This Far
	You probably like reading. Personally I think R. A. Lafferty is the greatest unacknowledged writer of the last hundred years. If you like the thought of classic science fiction that works simultaneously in tall tale and myth territory, you should check yourself out some R. A. Lafferty.
