A nice collectible/paperweight

Yes and I already have one of those ('cept it looks a lot cleaner than that old tosser up FS here), a Mac SE "Superdrive" with a dodgy analog board... one of these days I'll get around to restoring it...

A good clean up and a recap and i'd bet it would work just fine.

How about this one then? Here's a Macintosh Classic with a Buy Now of AU $120. Looks as tho' by the same seller who has the Classic II above, FS.

Sellers Description: "...there are marks and breaks on the case and the unit makes a rattle when shaken (likely from the broken pieces of the case rattling around inside). Please refer to the pictures to see the damage..."

You just have to check the pics on this.

Actually I find this one rather sad. Sad that great Macs can end up looking like this & sad that someone is asking such an audacious price for this tat.

Same seller again; asking AU $200 for an equally beat up LC III & Quadra 605 combo

Say now, tmm: Don't diss city dumps. We all know about the GOLD finds you've made at your local (secret location) tip - If only I was living in Tassie, too!

Nope. I'm thinking this lot was stored in a warehouse and in moving crates around, a forklift driver, either dropped the pallet containing these old Macs, or worse, perhaps had a heart attack (or an epileptic fit), dropped the pallet and with foot hammered to the accelerator, ran over the busted crate & its contents. The top link to the Classic II, is showing the one that faired the best and is only showing a few "rubber burns".

@24bit: "Lets hope we wont see auctions with Macs flattened by a Caterpillar."
Yes me too, but here I think we're seeing an "auction"[a] with Macs flattened by (perhaps) out-of-control forklift drivers ... [a] it has a buy now only option (not an auction).

@IIGS_User: Quite correct, and for those ROMs to be readable too, we don't need any bent pins.

@max1zzz: Looking at those pics, I would doubt the lb's would've survived intact with the LCIII or Q605. The psu's... 50/50? The '040 chip on the 605's board looks like it might be intact... But even if wanting these for parts, the asking price? I'm thinking the seller should wait maybe a couple of hundred years on this lot before asking anything near his "buy now" only price.

However (on that 200 yr note), there is the year 2038 problem where perhaps any Classic Mac, probably G3, G4, G5 computers too (I think Mac emulators also), will run into real time clock difficulties - oh, if only I should live so long so as to see this-melt down 1st hand - Y2K was such a non-event.
