A IIc if it REALLY is new in box, and not just clean and in a box, and it
has everything a new in box unit should have, then "maybe" it might have
some special value, nothing else you mention does. The IIc has some
collectible value in Japan, at least I know a couple japanese people who
buy them at swap meets for like $10 and seem happy about it.

That said I run across a fair amount of stuff that is long used, but clean,
and stored in its original box minus the usual this and that people tend to
lose over time. Many home users kept the original boxes, and put the stuff
back in them for storage, and it doesn't give them much if any added value.

$20 is often a nice token amount, much more an you are doing the person a
big favor, even if it is new in box.

Of course there are a few bits that change the value, but nothing suggests
they are present.

Question for the rest of the group, is the RGB adapter/thingy worth looking
for that goes on a IIc+?
