| Your NIB(New In Box) or NOS(New Old Stock) Apple Collections | |
| Posted by: Cameront9 on 2013-02-05 13:54:47 I have a System 7 upgrade kit that was sent to my Godmother. Still has a letter thanking her for her request for updated software (She was a teacher, so I think this was a special education deal). Has the folder with all the System 7 floppies and all the manuals, etc. | |
| Posted by: Cory5412 on 2013-02-06 07:56:39 Other than stuff that is still relatively new today (iPad, iPad 3, mac mini, usb and bluetooth keyboards, ipods and iphones) I had the packaging and kit for an Apple Adjustable Keyboard, plus one of those circular microphones, although my box for the circular mic was white, and I had the line audio adapter as well. After that -- it's just software. I have AppleWorks 5 and 6, Mac OS 7.6, 9.0, 10.3, 10.5, At Ease 1.0, and more recently I picked up copies of Mac OS X Server 10.5.4 and Final Cut Studio 2. I think I have one or two Claris things in their packages, or at least internal boxes, and I've got some other period-appropriate Mac software in boxes, such as PageMaker and FreeHand, and Word5/Excel4/PowerPoint3. | |
| Posted by: macman142 on 2013-02-07 18:57:33 I have lots of stuff still in original boxes however the only thing "BNIB" or "NOS" I own is a copy of Hypercard, still shrinkwrapped. Boxed stuff is cool however it's hard to store, hard to look after and protect and doesn't really do much for me personally. I can appreciate it but am not fussed on owning any of it. Would rather out of box. | |
| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2013-02-07 20:14:51 I keep all the software boxes, but I flatten them and cut the extra stick-out parts off and stick 'em in a big zip-lock bag with the manuals and media. That makes it easy to find in the file drawers. Not a lot of point to it these days it seems . . . . . . when did the last paper manual ship, BTW? :🙂 | |
| Posted by: CC_333 on 2013-02-07 20:44:33 Hi, I just remembered that I think I got a shrink wrapped copy of Adobe Illustrator (I can't remember what version it was, unfortunately, although I could go look). There might be more, but I can't remember now (I need to inventory everything so I know what's what; I have a general idea, but that's not good enough anymore). c | |
| Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-02-08 11:03:34 Have also an Apple Hypercard (sealed manual and disks) as well OSX Server 10.4 and OSX 10.3 never used. Had 10.3 Server also but gave that away years ago. | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-02-08 11:38:52 There was a guy on ebay that was selling SE/30's New In box(sealed) about a year ago. How cool would that be to have a sealed se/30? | |
| Posted by: TheMacGuy on 2013-02-08 12:19:24 Question arises, did the SE/30s battery explode? | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-02-08 12:42:12 That was the topic of discussion at the time. | |
| Posted by: techknight on 2013-02-09 20:12:23 I used to have a carton FULL of those microphones in boxes years ago, got rid of them all because I had no practical use for them. | |
| Posted by: volvo242gt on 2013-02-10 01:08:22 Forgot to mention... I do have something still shrink-wrapped. A copy of Galaxian for Apple II series. -J | |
| Posted by: TheMacGuy on 2013-02-10 09:03:01 Only thing I have is an brand new iPod Shuffle 1st Gen. This had to my 2nd favorite iPod ever released because of the remote design and the fact it was first iPod in 2005. Alond with the new one, I have a rare HP iPod Shuffle 1st Gen (along with a box, not the original) and the original one I bought at Best Buy in 2005 (along with the original box). | |
| Posted by: ClassicHasClass on 2013-02-10 10:24:58 I keep boxes, but I have very few NIB things BECAUSE I USE THEM DAMMIT. | |
Posted by: Dog Cow on 2013-02-10 11:03:38I keep boxes, but I have very few NIB things BECAUSE I USE THEM DAMMIT.That's the spirit. The only things I still have wrapped up are the ones that I have spares of. That is to say, there is no need for me to unwrap them. | |
| Posted by: MinerAl on 2013-02-11 08:04:09 It's just in a white box. There may have been a colorful sleeve around it once. Not Apple, but related...   | |
