NeXT Computers on eBay

[MBP13]

For all you NeXT fans, there are a few on eBay right now. If you're looking to buy one, here's your chance.

I wish I could buy a NeXT Computer..They're important to Apple's history despite them not even being a Mac, in my opinion. I bet they were "the" computers back in the day.

All over priced in my opinion. If you get all the software licenses with the first listing, then that one isn't terribly priced.

Oh yea, I have a 25Mhz B&W pizza box NextStation, in storage at the moment. These were nice machines in their time.

NeXTstation on my local Craigslist for $100:

Too bad it doesn't include the monitor or mouse.

You would lose that one if anyone was geeking out on a *nix work station back then it was a SGI machine they wanted...

True, but to be fair, SGI was playing on a completely different level than NeXT too. I remember drooling over NeXT hardware because the PC and Mac were my spheres of experience. SGI was a completely different ballgame, and most of us mere mortals didn't even fathom the idea of owning one until the Indy was released.

For the "uber" Mac nerds (like myself), they were. PC nerds salivated over other high end machines (I wouldn't know what, as I wasn't into PCs).

I sold my last NeXT a few months ago, got about £100 for it but wasn't really trying. Sold to a friend.

IIRC, his collection of NeXT workstations are quite substantial. Plus he had a few BeOS boxes as well.

BTW, if you ever see a vm image for NeXTStep or OpenStep drop me a line. I cannot get it going on my machine.

Blast from the past. That is the first machine I learned how to code on in college.
