Actually that doesn't sound like two bad of a price for a bare bones //gs,
especially if it includes the Keyboard and _Mouse_ (as both work on any Mac
SE or newer, there is demand just for them). I did some looking a few
months ago when I was looking for a //gs, and the average seemed to be $250
at that time, needless to say I didn't spend that.
Everynow and then I see them at GoodWill, and that's where I got one, I
think it cost me about $50 for a ROM.01, with a 1Mb card, and monitor. The
drives go for $10-15 at the local GW, but I had drives, keyboard, mouse and
manuals from a previous deal I'd gotten at an auction. You can get the
Operating System off of Apple's web site (I forget where).
If it's got a 4Mb RAM card, a SCSI card, or an accelerated CPU I say it's
definitly worth the price.
On the other had I personally don't see them being worth that much, they
seem to be rather inflated in price typically. They are a very cool
computer though. IIRC there are a couple businesses selling them for about
$500, how is that for inflated!
