Your NIB(New In Box) or NOS(New Old Stock) Apple Collections

[Cameront9]

I have a System 7 upgrade kit that was sent to my Godmother. Still has a letter thanking her for her request for updated software (She was a teacher, so I think this was a special education deal). Has the folder with all the System 7 floppies and all the manuals, etc.

Other than stuff that is still relatively new today (iPad, iPad 3, mac mini, usb and bluetooth keyboards, ipods and iphones) I had the packaging and kit for an Apple Adjustable Keyboard, plus one of those circular microphones, although my box for the circular mic was white, and I had the line audio adapter as well.

After that -- it's just software. I have AppleWorks 5 and 6, Mac OS 7.6, 9.0, 10.3, 10.5, At Ease 1.0, and more recently I picked up copies of Mac OS X Server 10.5.4 and Final Cut Studio 2.

I think I have one or two Claris things in their packages, or at least internal boxes, and I've got some other period-appropriate Mac software in boxes, such as PageMaker and FreeHand, and Word5/Excel4/PowerPoint3.

I have lots of stuff still in original boxes however the only thing "BNIB" or "NOS" I own is a copy of Hypercard, still shrinkwrapped.

Boxed stuff is cool however it's hard to store, hard to look after and protect and doesn't really do much for me personally. I can appreciate it but am not fussed on owning any of it. Would rather out of box.

I keep all the software boxes, but I flatten them and cut the extra stick-out parts off and stick 'em in a big zip-lock bag with the manuals and media. That makes it easy to find in the file drawers. Not a lot of point to it these days it seems . . .

. . . when did the last paper manual ship, BTW? :

Hi,

I just remembered that I think I got a shrink wrapped copy of Adobe Illustrator (I can't remember what version it was, unfortunately, although I could go look).

There might be more, but I can't remember now (I need to inventory everything so I know what's what; I have a general idea, but that's not good enough anymore).

Have also an Apple Hypercard (sealed manual and disks) as well OSX Server 10.4 and OSX 10.3 never used. Had 10.3 Server also but gave that away years ago.

There was a guy on ebay that was selling SE/30's New In box(sealed) about a year ago. How cool would that be to have a sealed se/30?

 

[TheMacGuy]

Question arises, did the SE/30s battery explode?

 

[uniserver]

That was the topic of discussion at the time.

I used to have a carton FULL of those microphones in boxes years ago, got rid of them all because I had no practical use for them.

Forgot to mention... I do have something still shrink-wrapped. A copy of Galaxian for Apple II series.

Only thing I have is an brand new iPod Shuffle 1st Gen. This had to my

2nd favorite iPod ever released because of the remote design and the fact it was first iPod in 2005. Alond with the new one, I have a rare HP iPod Shuffle 1st Gen (along with a box, not the original) and the original one I bought at Best Buy in 2005 (along with the original box).

 

[ClassicHasClass]

I keep boxes, but I have very few NIB things BECAUSE I USE THEM DAMMIT.

I keep boxes, but I have very few NIB things BECAUSE I USE THEM DAMMIT.

That's the spirit. The only things I still have wrapped up are the ones that I have spares of. That is to say, there is no need for me to unwrap them.

It's just in a white box. There may have been a colorful sleeve around it once.

Not Apple, but related...
