It was on ebay. It was for a CC40 with a 16KB RAM cart, a pen 
plotter/printer, wide carriage printer, modem, the wafertape drive, and 
some wafertapes.  The main thing I was interested in was the wafertape 
drive -- I already have the other items.  It was originally an 
open-ended auction, and nobody had bid on it yet, so I mailed the seller 
and said: put a $120 buy it now price and I'll buy it.  I should have 
shot lower, because he agreed too readily.  :-)  In retrospect, it was 
more than I really should have spent on it, but they are hens teeth, so 
I bought it.

The timespan from listing until purchase was probably about an hour.
