I mean, what would a person need to know about the serial number to be sure that it's what it is supposed to be. Would you just look for a low number?

I didn't use Paypal. I just mailed a money order. I'm still waiting for the software. Anyway, I'll never again buy anything from an individual without using Paypal. How do you authenticate something like that? Anyone could go to an engraver and have a gold plate made. Would you be able to authenticate it from a serial number?

I usually just ask for a few pictures (including one of a serial number) before I buy something like that.

Ebay would be a much safer way to buy, especially for the buyer. Maybe I'm a cynic, but i would have a problem sending $1500 to a stranger for something that may or may not be what he says it is. A gold plate on the back? Seriously? A gold plate on the back? And why would anyone want to sell something like that, if it is what he claims it is? Why not put it on ebay and then advise the list that it's there? Sorry, maybe I'm too suspicious.

It was given to me by Steve Jobs and has a plaque on the back. It has the original carrying case and a few pieces of software. I would like to sell it. If anyone is interested please make me an offer. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
