Just this morning picked up:

SE/30 with Ethernet card

PowerBook Duo with Apple branded carry bag

9600/300

G3 Server (300MHz tower) with Apple SCSI card and Apple Ethernet card

PowerMac G4 MDD (dual 1.0GHz)

iMac G3 Graphite 600MHz

iMac G3 Dalmatian 500MHz

pile of MISC Apple cables

and a box of Apple ADB mice

all for $140 which I reckon is fair.

Only had a quick look over everything. It's all quite dusty/dirty at the moment.

What kind of Duo? The ever-popular 2300c? The oh-so common 280c? The rare-as-all-heck 270c, ...or one of the pedestrian models? 😱)

I'd say for 140$ that is a pretty good deal. If only that graphite were a 700... then I'd have to buy it from you 😀

Everything works! The only machine that doesn't boot is the PowerBook Duo (230).

Very happy with the G4 MDD and the iMacs in particular.

Removed the clock battery from the SE/30 straight away. Evidence of leaking capacitors on the logic board, however it boots to System 7 on a 40MB hard drive with 8MB RAM.

Wow, I'd say that's more than reasonable. Good score.

Probably worth it just for the SE, let alone the rest. Nice work!
