Not bad for $56. The Quadra 700 is one of the systems I've been lucky enough to get in great condition, in the original box with manuals and disks, and it even has a 486 card in it. I've never tried to use that part of it, but I do have a shrink wrapped Windows 3.11/MS-DOS pack that I could use to install an OS - if this is even how it works. Maybe I don't need to use Boxer after all!

I've tried to buy one of these about 4 other times and someone always swoops in in the last 3 seconds and buys it for more,

i am one of those guys that just puts in what i want to pay , and if i lose it .. then i lose it... big deal. then i just wait for another one.

Congrats! I like the Quadra 700. I'm kicking myself for not grabbing a Mac to steal a PSU from to fix mine when I went to my storage room. The car was getting full and the GF was getting impatient in the passenger seat waiting for me. Next time...

I miss my Q700. The worst part that that I for the life of me can't remember what I did with it. I'm thinking that I sold it to someone on here.

I had a Q700 given to me long long ago, i played with it for awhile, had an IBM 1GB drive. got bored with it, and gave it to the high speed installer back in 2002. oops, bad idea.

Congrats on your Q700! I've got three that I use to support the surrounding shelf that protects my plotter from people . . . the other way around works out rather nicely as well . . . )

I'll get around to playing with them someday, but first I have to finish the PPC hack I've done to one of them, additional slot and all!

I do the same thing, but I wait until the last 30 seconds to bid, I lose out on a LOT of auctions where nobody else even bids by missing deadlines. However, nobody wins in a bidding war, IMHO, so I don't think it's very advantageous to bid early to start one right from the get go. I hold my cards tight, bid what I'm willing to pay and bid it at the very end. Every once in a while I'll put in a bid just before going to work to come home and find I've won, but that's rare, why give anyone time to mull it over as to whether they want to try to outbid you? I don't mind being out-sniped a bit, it's the folks who put bids in a few dollars higher trying to edge you out that are the ones that make my skin crawl.
