Subject: Re: Various Macs for Sale
I'm slightly interested in all of them.
Open everything. Plug everything in. Turn everything on.
I'll let you know which ones I'm interested in at the 'surcharge' rate
after your report. heh.
(last time I bought a skid of Macs of that vintage at an auction, it was
$1 and everybody looked at me funny for buying it. I didn't regret my
purchase one iota, btw.)
Not much of a market for old Macs these days. A month or so ago I was
looking for a Quadra 950 PS for my 2nd unit and a guy close to Cleveland
said he has a parts 950 I could have if I drove up and got it (about an hour
away). So I drove up there (grabbed the yellowing 950) and he started giving
me other stuff like a brand new looking AWS 95 that was never used and
included the full still sealed A/UX 3.x software set with manuals and it had
the rare 5 drive tray inside also (all free). Same guy was selling an early
PPC with monitor for $50 (no I didn't want it).
I can see nobody wanting a skid of old Macs (most people just want a
specific model), did you keep the machines or resell them individually on
ebay?
Still if you need a specific machine $10 plus shipping isn't that bad (even
that is probably not worth Sellams time to box up).
