Have you ever watched the Antiques' Roadshow on PBS?  Seriously,
sometimes good things get passed up for little.

IIc Pluses really are rare and if you got one in good condition with all
the original accessories and manuals as the other guy apparently has,
it really is worth something.  And if he keeps it for another decade
when this model gets even rarer on account of people who don't know
its rarity abusing them and passing them off in flea markets, it will
be truly collectable.
