Somewhat interesting. It's basically a computer recycler
that has decided to dump it's entire collection of Apple
stuff, including Lisa's, ]['s, and it seems a lot of recent
stuff like iMac, G3's, etc.
Located in "Northeast USA". Shipping is $750.
Yeah, I think I know who this is. I'm a little pissed as I've bugged
them for the vintage stuff before and they act like it's gold, don't
want to talk about it, yet sometimes scrap it.
Yep, one of my local recyclers is like that. I think they assume that
anyone who appears to be knowledgeable about what they have is
immediately going to take their junk and make a fortune selling it. Tell
them that it's worthless in financial terms and they think you're lying;
tell them that you absolutely will not sell it on and they still think
you're lying. I haven't figured out a way of dealing with that class of
people yet :-(
I haven't either. They usually try to sell on E-bay and then find out
that there's no money in it or else it's too much work so they give up and
just scrap everything :-(
