Depends on what kind of machines you like collecting.
Personally I think the SE/30 was one of the best compact macs made (B&W
anyway) and would not mind having one. 603's would be in the give away
category for the most part, while LC/IIsi have fans but were never the best
machines of the era.

Subject: "Market" for old macs?
At work I have an SE30, LC, IIci, and a 603 variety
mac just... lying
around.
Are these things as common as dirt, or should I snag
them?
I ask because I'm reminded of the "x86 dead zone" -- a zone where a
machine
isn't old enough to be compatible with older
software, but isn't new
enough to
be useful (a Pentium 133 falls into this category --
can't run old stuff,
can't
run new stuff, so toss it in the garbage).
