Re: THIS is Laughable!

Early Apple II+ on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-APPLE-II-PLUS-COMPUTER-1978-A2S2-/121790507135

Kinda looks like it has the raised power light - and the switch on the PSU is a metal toggle but it looks like it's just a replacement for the original switch...

Might be interesting...

Re: THIS is Laughable!

You're right Georgel.

They should have left the box sealed.

Then the could have (maybe, sort of) gotten $750.00 to $900.00 for it.

Maybe..Sort of. LOL But not from me.

Quite Nice...

Very Early Apple ][+, RAM Blocks, "Rev" on Board between Slot #3 and #4, so a Rev-04 Board, Board #7929. All seams reasonable Original..

I am sure this Power Supply had the "weak" Power Switch and it failed.... My Apple ][ from 7916 does have the weak switch....

Any guess of How High it will go???

I will say.......
$675.00

A 1984 Apple, with a letter dated 17-APR-1986???

Well, this Apple //e was a Prize in the Kraft®, "Display Carmels for an Apple" Contest..

And why does the Monitor ][ has an Asset Tag on it??

Nice, but definitely Not "that special"..... Well, maybe with the Prize Letter....

Re: THIS is Laughable!

Keatah,

LOL

Yup, it's not one of them new fangled "Self-Sealing" Boxes.

And you have to tape it, then pump it up by hand.

It has to be getting closer to Christmas.
Have you seen all the $35.00 and $40.00 items jacked up
to $150.00, $275.00 and $400.00?

Oh1 And a RAMFast SCSI Card for almost $400.00!

And these folks actually think that people will buy them.

Re: THIS is Laughable!

You're right Speedy,
and here is another example:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/191725202886?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

$400.00 for a Copy.

Isn't that special?

And for those who want to buy a pig in a poke:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-INJURED-ENGINE-5-1-4-Floppy-Disk-Apple-II-5-25-Commodore-64-/111807449914?hash=item1a083e4b3a:g:RbUAAOSw~gRV3I1c

You've just got to read the description.

What is on it? I don't know.
Does it work? I don't know.
I am supposed to pay you $36.99 for something that neither one of us knows if it will work?
Hell YES!

'Tis the Season...

Re: THIS is Laughable!

Georgel and Norris,

Laughable is not the word for it.
This guy is out of his mind in a Major Way!

My Uthernet II cards arrived last week.

Stefan,

I contacted the seller of this item yesterday about his one and only bidder.
This bidder has had 10 Bid Retractions in the past six months.
This bidder does this kind of thing all the time.
Ebay refuses to do anything about him.

Re: THIS is Laughable!

Hello Steven,

did you ever think about the possibility that this guy is
bidding with a second "ghost" account to his own stuff
and trying to pretend that some guy is stupid enough to bid to his stuff
( hopping thereby to pretend his stuff to be valuable enough to be sold at such price )
and thereby trying to bluff another guy to place a bid... ?

that´s a common practice used by some fraud ebay guys...
in such case he won´t claim at ebay to get the "ghost" banned....
and if ebay doesn´t get a claim by a guy that has been harmed
by that behavious ebay won´t take any action...

similar behaviour like those guys that try to drive bids high by bidding with ghost
against other bids to drive the bid up to the highest limit and then waiting for
the other bidder to step 10 bucks above his own highest bidding limit.....

you see that often when bids are stepping up each 10 bucks till highest bid is caught
and then leaving the rest of the bunch run the last ten minutes alone....

tolderlund,

No, these can be had for between $50.00 and $65.00 each if you look.

Speedy,

On eBay, all frauds are possible. lol

On a lighter note, I ordered my new Run 4 CFFA 3000 card from Rich today.
I should have it in a couple of weeks.

Re: THIS is Laughable!

So I find this to be really sad/irritating...

I know a bunch of us just received our Uthernet cards, and are thrilled (I know I am) but to see someone then turn around and try to sell them for $400.00 on eBay is really irritating...

Thankfully the guy behind the Uthernet card didn't take this approach, but rather undertook this project for the benefit of all of the real Apple II lovers out there. (Oh, and the auction is for 2 of them - low 2 digit serial numbers)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Apple-Computer-Uthernet-II-ETHERNET-Card-for-IIe-IIgs-II-Plus-/272032252700

I apologize in advance if this is inappropriate.

Re: THIS is Laughable!

Dude says, "sales of these cards will go to fund more upgrades to our Apple II machines."

So does this mean he/she is a community developer? Because it very likely that if I was lame enough to pull something like this auction proceeds would go towards up grading my IIgs as well (and probably a pizza and a case of beer).

Wtf???

Re: THIS is Laughable!

I have this uncontrollable urge to remove a diode from one of my non working Apple iie motherboards and put it up on ebay and ask for $250000.00.

Here is the description I am working on:

Steve Jobs and Steve Jobs: Jobs Steve Jobs Steve.

S T E V E J O B S=========S T E V E J O B S.

Up for auction is one spectacular diode device which has the unique capability to allow electricity go through it in one direction but not the other! It's like a electric valve!!!

It is designed to make your Apple ii computer work properly. If you don't have one installed on your Apple ii then it won't work properly.

This is SO RARE that you will NEVER SEE ONE AGAIN!

BUY BUY BUY BUY NOW NOW NOW...

Fits vintage Apple ii computer.

GET IT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! I AM NOT GOING TO PUT ANOTHER ONE FOR AUCTION (wink wink) after I sell this one!

It's down to $450!!

Granted, it "appears" to be new/unused and still sealed in the packaging. Drop another 100 or so and someone will scoop it up.

There is always those people who think that they can "Get Rich, Quick", by "finding treasures" in other people's junk and "Cash-In" on their "find", because they saw something just like it sell at an Auction recently..

They don't care what it is, it just seems like a lot of People want one just like it, and now they "Have One"..... "For Sale", At the "Right Price"....

The number of times that Steve has Contacted the Seller, and pointed out another "recent auction", with an "extremely similar item", that sold for 1/4 or 1/10 the Starting Bid, and the Seller tells him he doesn't realize what the Item is really worth...

Re: THIS is Laughable!

The right words escape me to describe how outrageous that boxed Apple //e is. Perhaps in 100 years such an item would be worth that much, but it's just not the right time.

I just purchased a boxed (but used) Imagewriter II for AU$110, including shipping. And that thing is a beast to ship. The box is great, but not a dealbreaker for me.

7159,

This statement in his Description is not true:

"One-of-a-kind Apple Dual 3.5 inch disk drive (this is the only one in existence as they never went into production)"

There was one listed on ebay within the last six months.

Mark your calendars.
It's 01 December.
It gets crazier from here.

It's coming...

When it comes with everything shown in the pictures. And I mean everything: the cabinets, the finished floor, all the appliances, the Kitchen-Aid, coffee maker, the spritzer bottle, the fruit bowl with bananas… Blum 3

LOL

Yes, it is unused and in mint condition. Yes, it is apparently made by Datanetics. Yes, it has the raised power light. And, yes, it is black (and presumably was destined for a Bell & Howell). But still, £216 ($325) does seem an awful lot just for a keyboard.

The seller appears to have had a whole box of assorted unused Datnetics keyboards. He has sold three in the last week (the other two for less than half the price of this one). I find it slightly mystifying how this box of NOS Datanetics keyboards ended up in the hands of a seller in the UK.
