So some of my latest conquests haven't really been terribly exciting, but I just scored another actual vintage Mac, so I thought I'd post.
2400c: Just won this guy on eBay for $50 plus $14 to ship - it includes battery, power adapter, and external SCSI CD & cables. Boots to :?: , so we will see how that goes.
iBooks: G3 clamshell with a defunct inverter, but I have a spare form a broken LCD. it was something like $25 or so.
G3 500MHz - $50, no keyboard, OS, or battery. Not tested yet. Just bought it because it was so cheap.
A couple G4 1.2 GHz machines - one was $175 with no OS, and works great. Sold it to my cousin as a complete machine - she loves it! Another identical unit on its way with a blocked power socket. My friend is going to buy it.
15" HP LCD: Sold with a bad backlight, but it seems to be working fine ATM. I plan on hooking it up to my server and using it as a test/spare display, as the server doesn't always need a display.
iMac G4: 15" 800MHz, works just fine. This guy was a local deal - $65. Gonna resell him.
Creative MP3 - bad battery, sold at CompUSA closing sale.
Samsung ML-2510 or something laser - works fine, from CompUSA, but missing manual-feed tray.
That about sums it up, as of right now I need to start selling other things in order to make room.
BTW - these conquests span from like January till now - it wasn't all at once
