This pages exist to help Mac users in the US, Canada,
Australia, and UK determine fair prices for used 680x0-based
Macs - prices that both the buyer and seller should
generally find acceptable. Our goal is to help individuals,
schools, thrift stores, businesses, and anyone else find a
fair starting point when selling their old Mac and Macintosh
clone hardware.
We hope to update these prices on a rotating basis every
4-5 weeks based on discussion on the
Mac Price email list. If you believe our prices are out
of line, please join the list and discuss matters there.
This page should always be considered a work in
progress.
Unless otherwise noted, price assumes a mouse and
keyboard are included. If they are missing, please adjust
the price downward accordingly. All prices are in local
currency.
These are user prices, not collector prices. At this
time, we generally believe that the Mac
128K, 512K, and
512Ke are no longer
practical user machines and do not provide pricing
guidelines for them.
Model descriptions include the model name, which is
linked to its profile on Low End Mac, followed by memory
size in MB, a slash, and hard drive size. We try to list at
least two common configurations for each model.
Older Macs may have different size replacement drives and
memory configurations not listed here. Remember, these are
guidelines - adjust prices as feels appropriate.
Upgrade Value
All prices assume inclusion of a keyboard and
mouse.
Additional memory should be valued at no more than
50¢ per megabyte, except in the case of the Mac
Classic, which cannot be upgraded at all without a
special memory expansion card.
External 800K floppy drives are worth about $5. An
external 1.4M FDHD SuperDrive is worth about $10.
The 20 MB MiniScribe hard drive often found in the
Mac SE is essentially worthless. Internal hard drive
values (add $5 for external drives, be sure to deduct
value of "base" drive):
20 MB
40 MB
80-100 MB
120-160 MB
200-250 MB
300-400 MB
500-600 MB
700-800 MB
1-1.2 GB
Ethernet card, add $5.
Internal CD-ROM, add $5
Compact Macs
The Plus, SE, and Classic can only be expanded to 4 MB
total memory.
