Looking for Apple iI sn 12989

I am looking to re-acquire Apple II sn 12989. I originally bought this computer in 1982 or 1983 and it was my first Apple II computer. Back in 2014/2015 I sold this Apple II to a fellow Applefritter member as I had run out of home storage space. I also sold my Apple III computer at the same time. Since then, my wife has helped me organize my strorage space and now have the room in our house to store another few computers. I miss my old Apple II sn 12989 and would like to re-acquire it from its current owner. I have been searching the web to see if it was offered for sale over the years and have found no information for Apple II sn 12989. That was until today when I found a Worthpoint desciption for Apple II sn 12989. Unfortunately, I am not a Worthpoint member (the monthly fee is more than I would like to pay just to find out what items sold for) and it looks like it was an eBay auction a few years ago. Anyway, I thought I would reach out to the Applefritter community to see if I can find the current owner and see if he/she would like to help me re-acquire Apple II sn 12989. I would be willing to pay more than the current market price to re-acquire this computer. Thanks.

That's an unusual search

That's an unusual search - if you are looking for your exact former machine. Finding its current owner/latest ebay buyer is probably going to be tricky. I wish you the best of luck!

The worthpoint posting is probably this one - certainly shows the machine to be in very good condition:

Larry Pell buys and flips a lot of ][ and ][+ units...  not sure if it was him or not, but that's his MO.

Apple II sn 12989

Yes, I joined Worthpoint and saw that it was sold back in 2015 a few months after I sold it. Kind of a bummer as I thought I was selling it to an Apple II collector/fan. Looks like he/she added a few more items to the computer itself so maybe he/she was a collector/fan for a little while. I'd still like to re-acquire the Apple II computer. I do not need all the extra items.

I've bought some Apple II items from Larry Pell. I will see if he has it or knows where it might be. Thanks.
