I was searching for some cheap Macs to tinker with. I found to incredible listing I can't wait to pick up tonight.
The first is a Mac Plus with mouse but no keyboard for $15. I can't remember if it working or not but either way it's worth $15.
The other is a pair of Desktar Genesis Mac clones. They are Quads with tons of extra stuff for $100. Only one is currently working.
I am just so excited. I've never seen either of these listed anywhere. They may be paperweights to today's standards but I am tired of fixing newer computers. Fixing up some vintage Macs might help learn some stuff too.

Very cool. I have a thrift store in town that sometimes gets old Macs and a swap meet. Got a very nice Mac 512k there as well as a SE and Classic 2. Picked up a MINT Mac Plus at WeirdStuff Warehouse in Sunnyvale, Ca for $10. Works great and was maxed out at 4Megs RAM.

There are 2. If I only need the one, you can have the second one for cheap.

I too love Craigslist. Don't know how I'd get tickets to Yankee Games and MSG Concerts without it.

Nice, I picked up the Mac Plus today and another listing. For $25 I picked up a early tray load G3 iMac with OS X, an old beige PowerMac with 15" Apple CRT and boot discs, and 3 Apple printers.
The PowerMac and iMac are spoken for already. If anyone wants an older Apple printer, it's yours for a reasonable shipping fee. One is a laser printer and the other two look like inkjet printers. If you're interested, I can find some model numbers. Otherwise, I will take them to a recycling center later this week.

Sorry I just bought a printer. Sounds like a great deal though!

I got a wicked "Gary Fisher" Tassajara Mt. bike off Craigs List Last year. It is a $750 bike never used. He wanted 300 but I told him I'd give him $250 because it was dusty and the tires had no air in em!!
GOD BLESS CRAIG!!
