Yeah that's the thing - I offered him more than it was worth just to secure it. I think he was surprised with my offer as he accepted very eagerly. As you said, he removed it from the ebay listing for me and was going to get back to me with postage but said he was "busy with work, sorry for the delay" and that he'd get back to me in a couple of days. Then NOTHING... So disappoint...

Want to do me a favor? You could contact him through ebay asking if he still has any of the Macs and see if he replies to you? Actually, now I'm sounding REALLY desperate...

I look forward to completing my collection with all four ED variants - I think they're a very strange and intriguing variation.

The Performa 275 is the same as the Colour Classic II isn't it. I've got a Colour Classic II logic board, case sticker and front badge - just need to get myself sorted out and stick them all on my "spare" Colour Classic that one of my good friends (who also collects Macs) donated to me. It's the closest I'll ever have to a "genuine" CCII and as far as I know only the badge and logic board were different anyway? Do you know?

I think once my collection is "complete" I'll actually get into gear and setup a shelf/display in the family room. Maybe...
