I bought the Mac from its first owner, he is moving to a smaller house so he decided to give away his old Mac. It was listed at eBay Germany two weeks ago by a new seller (3) who started the auction at 1 Euro and only for pick up. I mailed the seller letting him know that the Mac is in danger to go out for a few bugs (he lived in a small village). I bed 100 Euro. He said its much more worth (he was right) I bed 200 - he accepted. In addition I got the complete "Inside Macintosh" books and the original boxed MacWrite & MacPaint which where sold originally with the Macintosh in 1984. All together for 270 Euro including shipping costs - the old owner will buy a new iPod for the sum ;-) no joke. [] ]'>
