how rare is the Macintosh Performa 200?

is this computer a legendary collectors item, or another run of the mill types?

The older a computer is...the more likely the rarer it is (due to things breaking & being thrown away).

In my humble opinion...the Macintosh Performa computers were always the "junkiest"...weakest...and least desirable computers to purchase...since they were usually the very bottom end in terms of hardware & performance. They were also sort of "geared" towards the education market.

If you have a Performa 200...and it still works...just enjoy it!

thank you for the informative response! =)

And Performas were the bottom of the list as many were used in schools. Most schools wanted the biggest order for the cheapest possible price.

The Performance 200 is a Macintosh SE30 without the math coprocessor. It was the lowest end of Apple's low end line, and sold by trainloads. As mentioned above it may be rare by attrition, but I doubt it has any collector value.

Honestly I had to Google it. I never heard of it before.
