TheGrandPubaa Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Just wanted to see if anybody had a basic Apple IIGS setup(monitor, keyboard, mouse, some kind of floppy drive, maybe joystick) and get an idea of what they're going for. Fascinating little system. Edited October 29, 2016 by TheGrandPubaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hmm... I have a spare rom 01 IIgs with a monitor and keyboard, but no floppy drive (well I have a spare 5.25" but no 3.5"). No idea what they go for these days either. I'll have to do some research. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masschamber Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 This probably doesn't help much but I sold an apple 2 gs set up like the one you described for 200 4 or 5 years ago, so probably more than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I paid $250 plus shipping for my full setup including 4 drives (2 5.25", 2 3.5") and monitor, in reasonable but not mint condition. I think that's still about the going rate, although for a non-yellowed, mint condition system you'll pay more, and for a system with any extras beyond what's required you'll pay more. I might have gotten a *bit* of a deal getting all those drives; most systems I've seen don't come with four. But $250-$300 for a setup with all you need to get started is about what I still see them going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Yeah that seems alright for a rom 01 setup, a rom 3 setup will go for more though. Shipping is a killer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Cade Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Wow, these go for a whole lot less in my neck of the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm sure it varies by region. Those monitors are getting hard to find in working condition though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrandPubaa Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 It looks like the monitor/multiple floppies are the real killers(not even counting the expansion cards). I appreciate your taking the time out to do a bit of research. Those prices are a bit high for me right now so i'll put it on the back burner and keep a look out for a slightly cheaper entry point.
