Sold on eBay: New-in-box Apple II, Never Opened

Sold on eBay: New-in-box Apple II, Never Opened

With PCs for sale well under $1,000, nowadays $2,600 would be considered an expensive computer. But what if it's a unopened, new in the box (NIB), vintage Apple IIc? What would you pay for that?

Though bidding on vintage computers can often start as low as $1, this Apple IIc from what was then called Apple Computer Inc. was more valuable: It was still in the original packaging and had never been opened.

"When this auction came along, I knew I had to have it," Budiac said in an interview. "The prospect of unboxing a mint, 20-year-old computer was simply too good to pass up."

Yes, collectors: for those of you who are really serious about collecting, Budiac committed the ultimate evil: he opened the box.  However, as he said on his Flickr page showing the unboxing, he's never going to give it up anyway, so why not?

that's awesome, i would hate to see it just sit. too many people buy things that are classic and don't use them or just keep them sitting.

What else would you do with an Apple II? Its not like you are gonna game or surf the net with it -- displaying would be cool by be as I think it's what I would do too

 Start folding that BAD BOY!!

 That's awsome 20 years old new in box.  That's like a flash back for me I remember lusting for one of those years back.
