I’ve got a classic Mac, from 1982. Is this machine of any significant value?

Thursday, July 2, 2009 / Hardware

I own an old Mac and I wonder if there is any value to it.

I own and still in the original box, a Mac 512k. Model number M0001 W, 512k, Made in the USA, serial number F5472P9M0001W, Feburary 10,1982, Die Mold Delux, Elmhurst, Illinois, tool no.6. Apple P/N 810-0374. It will boot up with no problem and I have some software.

Is there any value to it outside of the paper weight value?

Thanks,
-Harvey

Although that machine is not of value for a work Mac computer, there may be collectors or other fans interested in buying it. You could post it on eBay or craigslist.org and see who is interested in it. I do not know of a good price though, so eBay without a reserve and a padded shipping charge would be a good idea.

    1982, huh? I bought my 128K Mac in March of 1984. With ImageWriter printer, only cost me $2990.
