Neat! And a Woz Edition nonetheless!
He didn't picture the paperwork...
I would think it's worth around $1,000 in today's Economy...
Last I checked IIGS's were plentiful (I had gotten one for FREE with monitor and drives a while back to save it from the trash, and I got a complete system all CIB for around $150 shipped).

Nice, It sold but at a best offer (2499 buy it now price). Wonder how much it went for. Seems very high in my opinion.
I had one of the 1st ones delivered/sold back then. I worked part time at a local Apple dealer and they limited each store to only 4 units, there was a waiting list and unfortunately I was #5. One of the 4 backed out and I went home with on Day 1 with my own Woz edition.
Unfortunately, it will have the original graphics chip/processor which had issues with the high res mode. Hopefully he can find one but for that money I'd assume it's going to be a 'show piece'. He can get a 'normal' IIGS for way less if he wants to use it.
Abandoned (sold) my Woz in 1991 and went PC for about 16 fun but frustrating years, then re-joined the family in 2007.
Today I enjoy IIgs games on my mac w/emulation. By far, Zany Golf is my favorite!

You can see how much a 'best offer' listing went for by clicking on Print on the original listing - http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAP...=nc&print=all&si=OgnS2yXCUDikr6Uh0v6ocWcB410=
In this case it went for $1,800.

ah, nothing says "authenticity" like a GS with a composite monitor.
This one's hilarious.

A green screen. 2 5.25" floppy drives. (not planning on running much GS software?)
(My family's GS was upgraded from a IIe. For a time, it was connected to an Slot 4 Mouse, until War in Middle Earth complained. We had a green screen and a composite color monitor, but composite color was so very painful to use with a dithered 640x200 display, and we installed a Sony RGB monitor some time later) As I recall, Mom balked at Dad's original idea, which was an Amiga. Not enough room, iirc.
The ultimate IIGS was a rom 3 machine, with a transwarp, all 8 megs of memory, and possibly an internal scsi drive. Plus a stereo card.
The Woz machines have the earliest, buggiest ROM...

Nice. Sound like nice machines back in the day. I haven't seen any besides the link I posted with the letter from Woz and certificate of authenticity. Does that value seem like a good deal?
