Heh! Yeah, I'm pretty lame, too, so I spend a lot of time on Craigslist and Kijiji. It's always nice to have some locals around, though we're pretty spread out, from what I can tel…
Gee, "local" competition for Kijiji and Craigslist looking for old Macs! I'm in Red Deer and have driven to Calgary before to scoop up an old 68K Mac; I got my Mac Plus with the Br…

For some reason I am unable to reply to your PM, not sure if it's aboard issue or what... so I'll post it here
I opened up one of the donor machines. The HD carrier …
I see the G4 iMac being a hot item someday too, but not the G5 and later, mostly because the designs are, in a sense, quite boring.

I think they'll get to be more of collectables after the following have happened:
