There were so many Apple II's made I don't think they'd be considered
classic, but more of a special interest, kinda like Commie 64's.
I know the Bell & Howell black Apple IIs get a premiuim price, for nothing
else than the color. I picked up a IIc+ not knowing it was the fastest
Apple II built, and that to me makes it sorta collectable. Now if I could
find the LCD display for it, I'd really have something.
Don't know much about the early Mac's but I do see lots of them for very
low prices on the used market, such as Goodwill, etc. Here again I'd say
it would be a special interest item more than anything rare.
Almost forgot, the early Lisas are commanding pretty good prices on e-pay,
but that is an exception. The later Lisas were upgraded to Mac O/S, and
they aren't as valuable.

What in the Apple line of computers, etc. is worth keeping, i.e.
hardware, software, documentation, and books? Besides the Apple I, are
there any other "holy grail" type of items?
I have several Apple printers including the Imagewriter and Imagewriter
II. Are these as common as dirt so I don't have to feel bad about
getting rid of them, or are they worth putting up on the Vintage
Computer Marketplace? I *think* the only Apple IIx I don't have is the
orginal Apple II and the "Black" Apple II+, and I would still like to
keep one each of the II line. The only Macs I am keeping are the
original 128K Macs, and maybe one of the 512K machines.
