[comp.sys.mac.misc] For Sale : Mac II Setup

ls2q+@andrew.cmu.edu (Laurie Elaine Schneider) (02/05/91)

Hey guys,

   I'm not using  my Mac II anymore and am interested in getting rid of
it.  I have the following:

     Mac II W/ PMMU and 5 megs Ram
     Apple Color Monitor w/ 8 bit video card
     Extended Keyboard
     Just 1 disk drive (My Hard Drive is dying...)

I have bits and pieces of the manuals and system disks, but would be willing
to make a new set part of the deal.  I, however, do not have the original
boxes... So I would have to deliver to you.  I live in the Northern NJ area,
but would be willing to drive system to you if you live near by. Oh yeah,
I also forgot, system includes:

    Imagewriter II printer
    Packard Bell 2400 Baud Modem

$3500/obo for entire system.

Please respond to me here...

Ward

	Reply to the newsgroup?  Hokay, but I'll email this too.
Sorry for the wasted bandwidth, folks...

	Tell you what.  I'll start things off with an offer of $2000
for the entire system, minus the Imagewriter and modem.  Why $2000?

	Since I have access to educational pricing, I can get a
Macintosh IIsi 2/40 for $2915.  Including 13" RGB monitor and
keyboard.  Comes with the one year warranty, a faster CPU, built-in
sound digitizing, all the various IIsi features, and a copy of
MacWrite II.  And, with an Imagewriter II and modem, I'd be paying
about $3500.  So, think of it this way:

	 $3500		Your asking price.
	-$400		I don't want the Imagewriter, modem, or
			associated cables.
	-$550		This is a rather conservative estimate of
			a decent hard drive is going to cost.
	-$600		Conservative estimate of AppleCare on the
			Mac II, video card, monitor, keyboard. 
	+$120		You've got 3 more meg RAM.
	+$150		The cost of getting an FPU on a IIsi.
	-$50		System Software w/ manuals.
	-$50		Hypercard w/ manuals.
	-$50		MacWrite II w/ manuals.

	Leaves us right around $2000.

	And let's say that Mac IIsi features like an FDHD, support of
portrait display, sound digitizing, and 32-bit clean ROMs balance out
the extra ADB port and NuBus slots on the Mac II.  Not to mention that
the poor II can't even use 4 meg SIMMs.

	So, $2000.  One grand to you before you send the system, and
another grand to you after I get the system.  I'll even split the
shipping costs with you (I'm in central Ohio.)
