| Fun at the local auction | |
| Posted by: hideehoo on 2015-11-05 19:06:04 My son really wanted the Apple III (notwithstanding the rodent activity). The 128k, SE/30, and 840AV will also be nice additions to the collection. Little spendy, but should be fun sorting and fixing for awhile. https://anewdayauctions.proxibid.com/asp/LotDetail.asp?ahid=3493&aid=101939&lid=27351165&title=Collection-of-Vintage-Apple-Computers-parts  Preproduction Apple IIc went for $1,000 at the same auction. https://anewdayauctions.proxibid.com/asp/LotDetail.asp?ahid=3493&aid=101939&lid=27351169&title=Early-Pre-Production-Apple-IIC-Computer | |

| Posted by: CC_333 on 2015-11-05 20:21:19 Are you going to share?! c | |
| Posted by: CompuNurd on 2015-11-05 21:00:45 Yeah, what are you going to do with all of those!? | |
| Posted by: rsolberg on 2015-11-05 21:02:46 Nicely organised. Looks like it's from an AASP given the number of Apple Parts cartons. If you want to recoup your costs by selling extraneous items, I'm sure you could do so readily. I see at least one Mac Pro in there and they tend to be a fairly easy sell even outside the Mac enthusiast community. | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2015-11-05 21:18:09 Oooooooo. Lots of cool stuff in there. PM me if you decide to sell any of it. | |
| Posted by: Hotdog Zanzibar on 2015-11-06 00:07:13 *gasp!* AudioVision monitor! HUUUURRRNNNGGGHH! And an Apple Network Server! Wow... | |
| Posted by: EvilCapitalist on 2015-11-06 04:33:31 Good gracious! That's a LOT of fun to go through right there! For anyone curious (who didn't already click on the link), the auction link had a lot more pictures and a PDF of what's in the lot. If I had the storage space this is the kind of mess I would get myself into. Apple_Systems_for_Sale.pdf (edit: this time, with the attachment!) | |
| Posted by: ScutBoy on 2015-11-06 06:38:12 I live about 15 minutes from where this auction happened. I tried _really hard_ not to go or bid on-line, though I did follow it on-line last night 🙂 hideehoo - I'm in Northfield, and if you decide you want to part with some of these goodies, let me know. There's stuff there I would be interested in. Heck - even if you just want help moving or picking through the stuff, let me know. Always fun to check out other people's toys 🙂 Nice score! | |
| Posted by: Macdrone on 2015-11-06 07:05:02 Thats a whole collection all at once congratz. Ive spent years getting mine and thats way more complete. | |
| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2015-11-06 07:18:00 Nice score! I love that PC-esque hacked (literally and botched too!) Q950 CD bezel. If there's an SE/30 board to spare in the lot, let me know. | |
| Posted by: Alex's Apple Orchard on 2015-11-06 07:48:53 Looks like you might possibly have acquired the smooth case pre-production IIc floppy drive from the other lot. Missing Apple logo and apparent smooth case sheen from the photo might point in that direction. | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2015-11-06 09:07:07 Wow, too bad all auctions aren't that detailed. They tested every single machine and noted weather or not it turned on, booted, or failed to boot. Pretty cool! | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2015-11-06 09:11:34 Ooooo. Two working 5MB ProFile drives. This is my last comment, otherwise I'll be commenting on everything in the list. 😛 | |
| Posted by: ArmorAlley on 2015-11-06 11:23:07 This is my personal nightmare scenario - an auction going for a price that I theoretically could afford, but that I know I would suffer for. Those around me would be of the opinion that my hobby has been upgraded to a Problem. And while I have the space to store them, there would be much grumbling about it. However, if you are new to mac-megalomania (and I only have 20-ish), this is a great way to start. | |
| Posted by: ArmorAlley on 2015-11-06 11:27:23 Hi hideehoo, If you've any high-end peripherals in that lot (like SCSI NuBus cards etc) that you maybe prepared to part with, I (and probably the rest of us) would love to know. You could sell off probably sell off 10 of those items and re-coup your initial outgoing. yours hopefully, aa | |
Posted by: Paralel on 2015-11-06 12:06:07This is what I bought, was all one big lot.Wow. That is impressive. Congrats. That is a very nice haul. | |
