Re: (Quadra 950 for sale by Matt)
If you wait anoter 9 years, when that machine hits 20 years old, then it will be worth probably much than you'll get for it now. However, I enjoy collecting all kinds of Macintosh systems. I never owned a 950 and would like to. I might buy it off of you if you find out shipping costs to 60527, Willowbrook Illinois. Email me back privately if you're interested. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello all, I am new to this group and have joined because my girlfriend has a very old Mac and I'm wondering what it would be worth to a collector.

Very unlikely, as they were produced in great numbers, unlike every other Mac that has began fetching premium prices. Q950s are so common here in Cupertino that the liquidators can't give them away. Of several dozen which were received by one of Sunnyvale's largest liquidators, the infamous Weird Stuff Warehouse, a few were sold at the initial asking price of $29.95, many more were sold at the reduced asking price of $19.95, a few were sold at the final reduced price of $7.95, and the remaining machines, about one-half of the total, were sent to the recycler. Hell, the mobo or the PSU alone are worth $7.95. But, still no takers, hence the trip to Quadra Motel ... the Mac goes in, but it doesn't come out. On a lucky day, you can sometimes pick up a 9150/120, complete, for $45. With these market realities, and the fact that a 950-sized machine costs about $40, and up, to ship, it is doubtful that these machines will ever fetch a premium. Not that these aren't great machines. They are. It's just that there is an oversupply of these, so there's nothing special about them. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
