RiderofOstriches Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I am very new to the world of classic computing and I feel that an Apple II would be a good place to start. My problem is, every time I go on eBay I find plenty of systems but they all either look damaged, are missing keys, or just haven't been tested. I would much rather pay more for something that will work than gamble on it and have a broken computer lying around. Does anyone know of a place that sells refurbished systems hopefully under $250? Than you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nanochess Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I think you should contact Keatah, he has tons of Apple ][ systems in his garage and house, I've heard three rooms of his house are filled with Apple equipment and his wife isn't delighted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiderofOstriches Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Btw, if possible, I am looking specifically for the Apple IIe or IIc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Cade Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I am in Augusta, GA and have a couple of IIe Platinums... I only need one. Working perfectly with a couple drives if you want. If someone is closer to you it may make more sense, but Fedex Home is not too expensive for shipping, and I pack well. I know the perils of getting broken stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiderofOstriches Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 +Dragonstomper how much were you thinking for the price. I expect shipping to bite but I can deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoestring Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I sold an Apple //e ( enhanced ) in great condition for less than $300 AUD recently. So there are definitely good ones out there if you're patient enough to wait for the right one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
