Thanks for replying.

I know that 68k is from Motorola 680x0's name.

Only Early 68k Mac I found in our Polish eBay-like site was Performa 475. Without Mice, keyboard, screen and in unknown condition ("I can hear a 'beep' when I turn it on, I don't know if it boots" - written in the auction). It is for 30PLN, so about $10.

Old Macs are hard to find by 4 reasons:

* there was communism up to 89'

* After getting freedom, there was inflation, not high as in Zimbabwe last year, but still,

* As I wrote, prices

* After inflation ends (about 93'-94' ) there was PC's with Windows, it was cheaper and more popular

Code:
Polish inflation percentage after 89':
1989 	639,6% 
1990 	249,3% 	
1991 	60,4% 	
1992 	44,3% 	
1993 	37,6% 	
	1994 	29,5% 	
	1995 	21,6% 	
1996 	18,5% 	
1997 	13,2% 	
1998 	8,6%
	1999 	9,8%
       2000 	8,5%
Cost of the shipment of 10kg Mac from US to Poland will be $30 (If somebody have better deal, please write it), and most of the offers are US only, we do not shipment abroad. I found one Classic I in UK, excellent condition, not yellow, working System 7.0.1 installed, but 150 pounds + 35 for shipment is nearly 800PLN, too much for me.

And last thing: nope sorry, flying to US, getting Mac and flying back will be few times more expensive, even that I am fly enthusiast it's still makes no sense.

Now I must earn some money online ;D

EDIT: Poland is only country of EU in which PKB percentage for 2009 year was on plus, as we say: "here, in Poland even recession failed" :D
