wow what a piece of history! I never remember seeing these as it probably was just before my time, but I did have a TI-99/4A that was just like it and took cartrigdes for games or word processing.

think my rents still have it somewhere in their basement.  my favorite game was chicken coop where you catch the falling eggs.

Anyway, if it is in mint condition you will probably regret selling it somewhere down the road as that thing will probably become valuable say 20yrs from now as it will be over 50yrs old.  My vote would be clean it up, store in a dry airtight container and forget about it for a while.

  you look like a carrot.
My nickname at school is carrot cake, because i can't get tan. I get orange. and my face is shaped like a carrot. And i make a mean carrot cake.
