little by little I'm putting together the system, and I'm missing the external 3.5, mouse and printer.
The drives sold on eBay are really expensive, if somebody want to give a good home to an old drive, I'm ready to buy it!

Unidisk 3.5 for apple //c
Hi,
I have a fully functional UniDisk 3.5 in the Apple //c off-white color, model#A2M2053. It's cosmetically good with some dust and a label on the side towards the back that can be removed and made to look like new. If you want it cheapest, you can do the cleanup.
While I abhor FleaBay for most of the common reasons, I don't want to get ripped-off either. What do you feel is a fair price to pay for this? I'm in the USA so consider that when you think about shipping costs. I see the old 400k ones (pretty rare) priced for $200, I see the beige equivalent (800k) (common) (A9M0106) of this one going for $80-$100 but I think $25 is closer to reality (if one shops around gets them in a lot), and I couldn't find one of these //c ones. I tried looking about 15 years ago, and had a hard time, but then got one. I'm thinking $35 plus shipping is reasonable. If you want me to clean it up tack on another $10. PM me if interested.
Oooopps!
Sorry.
Wrong type of drive.

Mutant_Pie,
My Bad.
I thought I seen a 3.5 for a IIc somewhere, but it was a 5.25.
Or you can buy one on ebay for $265!!! Crazy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Apple-UniDisk-3-5-A2M2053-disk-drive-/160840139300?pt=US_Vintage_Computing_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2572d1c224#ht_500wt_1173
Or there's this one that SOLD for $325. http://www.ebay.com:80/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221040703561+&item=221040703561&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466
However, it was new and unused. And the other one still has no bids. I'm happy to have sold mine for $35.
I should have also mentioned that I have Apple ][ mice, but they are in the standard beige, so I didn't figure you'd be interested. I strongly recommend checking thrift stores and electronic surplus places for the Image Writer II printers (assuming that's what you're after. They are heavy to ship.
thanks Mutant, I'm actually looking for the A2M4015 Apple //c Mouse, I got an M0100, looking to sell or trade that for the apple one. Thanks also for the Unidisk, will be sitting next to the mailbox all next week!
