Re: Selling Apple//c

[you@askjfk.com (Emma Winner)]

It's probably a IIc. I've sold tons of them. If it's in the box with
docs, you could get $100 or more on ebay if the timing is right.

More money if you have original system disks. Add more if there's a
joystick.

Monitors usually are prohibitive to add to an auction listing because
they are worth so little and are so bulky (except, in this case, the
LCD screen), so offer it as a free added bonus if someone is willing
to pay the extra postage. The same can be said for older printers.

Prove it works. Boot it up and take a screen shot. Buyers on ebay hate
mysteries.

Typical setup -- IIc (without box), power supply, a few disks and
maybe an extra, like a joystick -- would get you around $40 when the
timing's right.
