Goodwill ComputerWorks - Austin decided to resume selling older hardware. The result was an afternoon of 68k conquest:

Quadra 605

LC III

IIsi

Atari 1040 STE unused - CIB

Atari Mega 1

I'm a GEM partisan from back in the day, so having a little TOS at the desk now is a big deal. I really didn't expect to find a $10 like-new Atari 1040 STE in there; it was a pleasant surprise. These plus a Mac arcade game box set, an IBM WordPad (Palm III) and a Commodore 1541-II drive cost only sixty-seven worthless American dollars.

 
If we could only get Houston ComputerWorks to do the same thing. I'm always seeing at least one old Mac in the back due to get chopped.

 
Hey when were you there? I was there on Saturday and saw those items. I thought about picking up the Atari ST, but decided against it.

 
I picked them up on Sunday. Someone should go and get the LC II, LC, WGS 6150, Classic, and SE that I didn't have room for; I'm lucky my girlfriend isn't shunning me as it is, and those others would have caused problems. I can't believe you didn't take the ST - why did you pass on it? Did you look inside? The cords are all coiled in the original wrap - it's never been powered-on...

 
Mostly it is because I have too much clutter in the house and I don't have a good place to set it up.

I figured I would let another collector give it a good home, instead of just leaving it sitting on my bowling bag like my Apple IIe.

I am encouraged that they are selling vintage equipment again.

 
I was there yesterday and two weeks ago (visited my bro)! Last time, I got a IIci but decided against the IIsi and the LCIII, glad they went to good homes. When I was there Yesterday I saw that they still had an LCIII, WGS 6150, LC, Color Classic, and SE on sale for $10 a pop in the back. Go Austin Computer Works!

 
I didn't see the Color Classic when I was there; maybe they brought it out after I cleared the shelf. I remember a couple years ago I saw a Color Classic set there for the bargain price of $150. I guess the store may be under new management.

 
If they have a color classic, I think I will make space for that. Actually I have a use for it. I may swing by this afternoon and see if it is still there.

OMG, ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! I WOULD HAVE TAKEN EM ALL! ESPECIALLY THE SE AND CC! xx( Someone save them! Damn NY Salvation Army. You don't have no computers for me :(

 
I went back today. I think you confused the Classic for a Color Classic. Everything else listed is still there.

I would like a classic mac, but I want one I can add ethernet to. I considered the SE, but frankly the case had too much yellowing.

I did consider picking up the Apple II monitor and a second floppy for my IIe. Those have been there for weeks, so I figure I'll wait on those.

I would have picked them up but I don't go into Austin very often.
