what makes your Portorose so valuable is that you have the 68020 32 bit model..which i notice you failed to mention in the text of your auction
i see you are trying to do the honorable thing by selling the computer at a price that is reasonable given what you paid for it..even though
i should mention that i have had dealings with several different collectors from NZ and Australia and all of them were very honorable folks to deal with..so i am not thinking of anyone in particular here

Yes, Chris is an honorable dealer, the Portorose is in the excellent
condition he described. Of course he is entitled to a profit if he
stumbled upon a great deal. I am also happy with the price I paid,
given that shipping is quite expensive even between Oz and NZ on
an item so big and heavy. The Munchen board is so big you need a
cut lunch and hiking boots to make it around to the other side of the
board. Well ok, I'm exaggerating about the hiking boots...any boots
will do.
Chris actually also offered me the other machine, ie, the Dallas, for
around the same price, but my wife might have had something to
say about that.
I've only seen one other Munchen board, it was not in nearly as
good condition as this one, but it was a "Munchen S". I don't know
what the difference is. Certainly the pieces are luxury, extremely
well made. Mephisto must have had a lucrative business up and
running in it's heyday.
