The lack of a pic or more thorough description and the seller's low rating tend to make me wary of this one...

Not that I'd pay $500 for it even if it was legit.

I bought that OLD MAC. It said the seller pays shipping, so unless the seller backs out on that, I get a Mac Plus(it seems from the pic) for $5.50! I'm happy.

Candy_Punk, I'd say it's a Mac Classic or Classic II, not a Plus, making it an even better deal.

Don't you love how anything pre-040 seems to count as "rare" and a "collector's item" on eBay?

I like all the stickers on the top of the case, and the fact that it looks like it's about to fall into the sink!

Yeah it's definitely a Classic or Classic II, not a Plus. And that's a plus!

(ba-dum, ching!)

Apparently, they don't even have to be that old.

And for the love, it's a IIci on its side, not a IIcx!

Wow! Apple must love me! My new QS came with rare white stickers!

Not only that, but I have a Quadra 700, one of the rarest Macs ever made! I feel so special!
note: must bash in the head of that guy - he blasphemed a IIci

No, no. Not a drawing tablet, but a "sketcher thingee"! You plug it in to the back of your Mac and you draw on it, I guess.
