I understand what you are saying, but my point is if you fix them all up no one else will get a chance, less and less of us can spend money on the older machines. It's a hobby. We do it for pleasure. You make them all worth more then they won't sell and you'll be right back in the same boat a room full of macs going nowhere. I am just asking you take some of them just as they are and get them to peoe who will appreciate them. You have plenty there just saying spread the wealth.

Keep in mind that part of this being a career is that sufficient profit must be made for an employer so that it is valuable to the business. Try not to get upset about the prices: it can't be a career if the profit can't support a career.

Free geek is a volunteer non profit organization. So eBay prices do not make sense.

Hi,
BlastoiseBlue: I'm not sure what's going on, but it sounds like that's why to me.
It's kind of disappointing, really.
Sigh...

Museum quality? Is that "NOS" 128K analog board an actual 128K board with the top fence and all or a "compatible" Plus board? If you're shooting for museum quality and looking for a cool $G, you can't be mixing parts. That's like putting a different, compatible distributor from a 1968 Mustang on a '66. It may work but its not original and shouldn't be priced as such.

I imagine an Apple service center cleared out their inventory with them a few years ago.

Ohh, alright, thanks! And I'll be sure to stay up to date here, even if the trade doesn't end up working I'm happy to see someone willing to take care of so many classic computers! XD

I would so go for the 5xxx Power Mac and the G3 AIO. I do love older AIO Macintoshes 🙂

I have an extra G3 AIO. Where are you at I wouldn't mind parting with it. It's dirty and has a que cdrw in it but its fine otherwise.
