There's some good stuff there like a boxed MacOS 8 but definitely not enough to justify the price considering the centerpiece is one of the worst Macs ever made.
Please consider something like:
Link to stupidly-overpriced auction
That horridly long link stretches out the page

Not that I do or anything, but...
Isn't there anyway to have phpBB truncate the link? I've seen some other
CMS forums that take the link and truncate it with an ellipsis in the middle
so that it doesn't cause this problem.
(Yes, I hit Enter at each line so that it would be easy to read.)

Not that I've seen, though I haven't looked for a while. phpBB 3 does it automagically, so it won't be a problem once we (finally) upgrade to that...
Luckily with eBay auctions you can just chop off everything after the item number and it doesn't make a difference, so who knows why they put all that crud in the URL anyway -- probably just to annoy people like us [

Note the $200 shipping fee! Wow! What a deal!
Crack addiction is such a tragedy.
Hey! Thats my auction!
sorry... couldn't resist.

Good thing no one bought it. (dad, may I borrow your checkbook?) J/K

Hahahaha nice. :lol:
This doesn't sound as bad as the one regarding "THE FIRST COMPUTER EVAR" for $10Gs or so (it was an Apple IIe 
). Heard it on RetroMacCast a few weeks ago.

Didn't somebody mention that on here, in Trading Post or the Apple II spot? I laughed a bit on that one. I kind of wonder how they figured it qualified for such a description.
It's ba-a-a-a-ck!

The price is lower than before, but still ridiculous and the shipping is also high. Even if he gave it all away free, you'd still be paying too much with $200 to ship it. I think he'd be better off to cherry pick the best stuff out, sell it, and put the rest up for free on the local Craigslist or Freecycle.

Thats just tragic.
Lots of stuff, just way overpriced and nothing special (the computer itself is not one of my favorites).
Would cost a decent amount to box and ship all that (nobody would pay it).
He needs to find a local who wants it for free.

I'd probably pay up to $50 (US47.49) for it.
Wow... somebody actually bought it for the best offer of $250! :O That's still $450 shipped... ouch!
Its a sad, sad world....
Speaking of which, I just realised that the auction has it listed has having a DVD-ROM drive, and a 40GB HDD? Um...what? That CD-ROM drive, to me at least anyway, looks like a stocky, and while its very possible that it may have a 40GB HDD, I doubt it.

Did DVD drives even exist when the 6300 was new? If it has 8.0 installed as would be evident from the boxed copy of 8.0 being sold with it, will 8.0 even recognize a DVD ROM?
They did exist back in 1996, but only as prototypes, IIRC. I remember reading about them in MacAddict back in 1997. The very first consumer DVD gear started showing up in very, very late 1997, from what I remember.
For the record, OS 8.1 will recognise a DVD-ROM, but not 8.0, though it may, if you steal a copy of the Apple CD/DVD driver from 8.1. No guarantees though.

Hah! Good luck getting it to work!
I have a SCSI DVD-RAM/ROM and it won't even MOUNT under OS 9, let alone burn with it. OS X sees it, but Classic won't.
You gotta get a third-party Driver in order for it to work, and the only one I have found is a pay-for-ware

Hmmm...what kind of DVD-RAM is it? I have a Panasonic (well, Matsushita) LF-D101 SCSI that works in OS 8.6 and up. I have a LF-D111 IDE that works in OS 9 and up.
DVD Tune-up will write to DVD-RAM in Classic, and I have Toast 5 that will as well, but I haven't used it.
I have to say, I have just started using DVD-RAM, and I love it! I am way too disorganized to save everything up to burn all at 4Gig once, and I have found that while I can write multiple sessions, not every drive can recognize more than one session.
Well, this seals the deal for me.
