I get the first part about the used systems. What I don't understand is what price you are asking for it. Is it $450 or $500? The way the sentence is constructed is weird.

Fixed it... no mention of $450 now thanks :) Also, as far as pictures are concerend... top of each box is open, and that's where the manuals and instructions are all located. Don't want to pry the Styrofoam out and risk breaking the box or being unable to get it back in! Literally, the guy OPENED the boxes, saw one manual and said "Hoo boy, this is more trouble than I thought" and closed it all up.

I hpe it goes well, too... that's DISNEYLAND money!

Good luck with the sale! I posted it for my flist, since I have a ton of local geeks on there. I'd vouch for some of the non-locals on my flist, too, but I don't think they'd be interested.

Man, can you imagine being a geek who played with an Apple as a kid and got one for Christmas this year, new in box and everything? That would be super rad! ;D

That would be so awesome... like finding an Atari or an NES with the ROB accessory under the tree :)

Apparently, one similar to this (only it was still sealed) sold for over $1k... so this is a REALLY good bargain! Thanks for cross-posting :)

Got any nibbles yet? Overly curious minds want to know...

Also, were you going to be home Friday? I need to bring over that giant roll of posters...

Yes I will be home most of friday... nly time I'll be gone is between 11am and 3pm. After that, I'm ready!

Not even a single nibble on the Apple IIc yet :( And I've got LOTS of local peeps pimping it pretty hard! I figure if it doesn't sell I'll save it and relist on November 27th for the Xmas crowd... how awesome of a Christmas Morning would that be to find the first Apple Notebook computer under the tree???
