I have just been reading the PET thread and I thought this deserved a new thread.
I have an apple 2 that works, the J key is depressed constantly although I'm looking for a new switch to fix this.
It has a graphics tablet with its interface card and the pen. (Yes this is true it does have a graphics tablet!
It has been upgraded to 48K ram if I remember correctly
I have a Apple floppy drive, unsure if it works though it just seems to try and read the 5 1/4" disks all the time.
I have the original Apple printer too, with a roll of paper.
It has a black and white Hitachi monitor too oh and the power supply!
It all works and is the same as this one:

I'm really wondering if anyone knows if they go for a lot of money? If they are rare or do people just chuck them?

I have one too, an Apple ][ Europlus, with two 5.25" floppy drives and a Microvitec Colour Cub monitor. It works perfectly, but most of the floppies are corrupted. Last time I checked they were not worth megabucks.
Don't chuck it! I'm going to show mine to my son in a few years to explain that this was Daddy's first computer when he was 13 and it was seriously cool back in 1980.

I bought mine for £10 a few year back
Well my brother gave me £10 for it and I never gave him the money now anyway. I don't remember "Nightmare #6" ?
I've got an original fully working Macintosh like this one...

Oh I've one of those too.
I've got an iisi and a beige G3 desktop and another too.
the oldest one works but the others don't... Blooming typical!
The one you have I'veen go for £120!! but most go for £5 - £20. I'd put it in a box, keep it dry and maybe get it out every 3 months to make sure it works and let the battery recharge.

Wow, really, I can't say that I've paid that much attention, I don't think I'd sell it anyway as its the last of my 'collection' that used to include all sorts of weird and wonderful creations from the 80's. I even had a Wang computers machine.
Lovely machine though isn't it, bit of history. Think I paid about £20 for it back in 1995. Another one I still have (and I keep meaning to stick on ebay) is a Powerbook Duo and the Duo dock. Classic bit of industrial design that. I'd keep it if I could get away with it, but I've already got a Blue and White Powermac G3 that takes up a fair bit of room.

Oh
. Great machines. I have an Apple 2+, couple of motherboards, Apple 2e and Apple 2c plus a couple of Apple 2gs's I also have an old Mac 512k (and 128k motherboard) and a few other odd/sods. Also a stack of other old computer hardware including a collection of calculators Sorry I may be a
but I think some (not all) machines should be saved like old cars or other collectable items. Stick it on Ebay but put a GOOD reserve on it .. if you have the tablet thats a good bonus and selling point.
Please for gawd sake DONT throw it out!!
