That's pretty much what I paid for mine - £110 is about $220 :O

I must have been mad (no, hang on, I still am mad :-/ )

Wouldn't surprise me at all. These things are RARE!!!!!!!!!!!

The listing says 68LC040, but these are desirable because they are the only powerbooks with a full 68040.

Yes, my sense was that the seller did not quite know what he/she had. The final tally must have come as a pleasant surprise.

It's not an ouch. The 550C is rare as hell. It was only released in Japan and has some nice upgrades over the rest of the 500 series Powerbooks.

The seller mentions in the listing that it was only sold in Japan, so they did know what they had. 550C's don't come on the market from people who don't know what they are. If someone had it shipped over from Japan, they knew exactly what they were buying.
