I don't think that trend speaks well for the size of the vintage Mac
community. It seems to imply that more of these books are being dumped
on the market as people unload their classic Macs and no longer need
the text.
Indeed. An HD-equipped SE with keyboard and mouse made less than £5 on
ebay.co.uk recently; they used to be good for £20-£30. It indicates
that supply is exceeding demand.
The only reason to pay more is if the test pattern disk is still with
the book. That disk is gold as it is comprehensive for the old Macs
(128k-Plus, Lisa/XL & SE) and is an excellent tool for routine
preventative maintenance.
Yup - my MRUS came with it. :-)
I guess I should be able to make an image of it with the later
versions of Disk Copy . . . . . .
