I did a good faith purchase on Craigslist for a guy's old IIci. I live in California, he's in Chicago. I paid $150 + about $30 parcel post shipping for a boxed IIci. It came with a Daystar 601 upgrade complete in original box, manuals, disks, etc., and a FWB Jackhammer SCSI card with all manuals and disks (no box.)
The IIci itself came with about 80% everything. It was missing the original system disks, but has 7.5.3 on original floppies.
Has all the manuals as far as I can tell. The only major thing it's missing is the top styrofoam to the box My OCD is kicking in overdrive. Gah! So close. :lol: Was looking forward to making it the centerpiece of my collection. I didn't think to ask the seller specifically about the foam inserts. Oh well.
Still, though, I think the price was right especially with the PPC upgrade and FWB card. He also has an envelope with a casette tape on how to install a memory upgrade, with an extremely darn handy SIMM installation/removal tool. I can't tell you how many times I've ripped a nail right into the finger trying removing 8 SIMMs over and over again when I was testing my old IIci's RAM.
It won't power on without the power button on the back held in, but I have an extra power supply and I'll give that a whirl. If I get it working, I'll have an extra IIci for sale/trade later on.
Speaking of boxes... anyone have styrofoam for a IIci they don't want?
