I know a LOT of these can be had for free or next to nothing, but I've also seen the opposite with people asking top dollar for a piss yellow untested Mac Plus with no accessories.
I realize this is somewhat subjective, but what is kind of the baseline value of an intact compact mac (meaning not gutted but no keyboard or mouse) with no accessories and with a non broken case but that is untested or is known not to boot?
What about one that boots?
I think I'd be willing to pay $25 locally to save almost any intact compact mac and maybe $40 for any one that boots. I would also expect slightly better prices for a bulk purchase of course.
Also what would people put the value hierarchy among:
- Macintosh Pluses
- Platinum Macintosh Pluses
- Macintosh SE
-Macintosh SE/30? Again with no keyboard and mouse, as I assume the Plus keyboards and mouses are significantly more valuable than ADB stuff. Without expansion boards of course.
Also, this is completely different on country and even region. My perspective is from the Western United States.
