Found a dead mint IBM PCjr price list from 1983. Remember to adjust for
inflation :)

System unit with 128K RAM and 320K disk $1269
IBM Color Display (320 x 200) $680
Epson FX100 9-pin Dot Matrix printer $950 (ohhh...it had *graphics
printing!!*)
Printer cable $55 (this REALLY used to piss people off. But when I was at
Data General, we charged $375!)
NEC Spinwriter 3550 printer $2,295 (a whopping 70 characters a second. I'm
gonna faint!)

And my personal favorite accessory:

Hayes 1200 baud External Modem $799 (yes, $799!!)

Paul S.
charges too much for MOTM modules.....yeah, right!!!
