I currently have 2 Mac 512s, a Mac Plus, a Mac SE, a Mac Classic, and a Mac LCIII. I've been dying to get my hands on a Mac 128K for about 2 years now. I haven't been able to win one on eBay. And believe me, I watch eBay weekly. I've bid on several of them and I always lose out at the end. They keep hitting $200 bucks and higher, and that's just a little too pricey for me. I really wanted to get one for a $100 or under.

A few weeks ago I saw one on Craig's List with an external floppy, keyboard, mouse, and all the original disks and manuals for only $100!! I couldn't believe it. The drive was only 2 hours away! A small price to pay for such a hook-up. I contacted the guy, but to my disappointment, he had sold it 2 days prior and forgot to take the listing down. I was so bummed.

Today, I'm happy to report that I just scored a 128K on eBay for a mere $76 bucks! With keyboard, mouse, and in working order!

I can't wait for it to come in. All it needs (as far as I know) is a battery door cover. And that's easy enough to come by. There's a few on eBay right now. Also, I'm in the process of restoring one of my 512s to working order. I got it on eBay for $36 bucks because it was poorly stored and has a lot of rust and corrosion inside. If I can't get the logic board in working order, then I might swipe the battery door off that and part it out.

Can't wait to post pictures!
