“Straight out of 1984…” not quite, let’s try straight out of late 1987. Interestingly enough, this particular Apple IIc is not even a vintage (original) model. Still, it would be lovely to have…despite the fact that I’ve already got an Apple //c put to good use on my office desk. A rare find that went for a rather exorbitant amount. To lend some perspective, back in 1984 the retail price of the Apple //c main unit was $1299. I felt a little better when I saw the final auction ending price…. But I was racked with pain in being unable to bid. When I encountered the auction there were 31 minutes left and the bid was at $920. This is the prize of Apple and Vintage Computer collecting I have never seen another unopened Apple II C system in my life, and this belongs in a museum as this is the only way to correctly portray how a new Apple system from the early years of computing would arrive. To find a complete system unopened and never seeing human eyes before is unbelievable. It does show some wear from shipping and storage, which was mostly from the original owner, who didn’t understand what a rare item he was dealing with. I have stored this system for years in a smoke free and safe place since. I bought this system from a collector who said he bought this from the original owner who had just stored it and never got around to opening or using it.

A new-in-box Apple //c system: main unit, monitor, monitor stand and AppleWorks integrated software package.
I took a quick glimpse at eBay’s “Vintage Computing” listings this evening and what I saw was amazing. I experienced 30 minutes of intense pain this evening.
