Good evening everyone! So came across this old Macintosh and wondering what model is it etc? Is it worth putting on eBay to sell? As you can see it does turn on. Appreciate any feedback - looking to let it go to the right “tech” museum!

Is it worth putting on eBay to sell?

Collectors will thank you. However, shipping will be on the expensive side and risky. Best to list it either on a local site or, if ebay, as collection only.

That's really cool, to see one complete and still working, as @Amethyst1 stated, the shipping would be a bear, best to try and sell it local if you can, some classic forums like 68kmla may find a buyer in you area, as well as Craigslist and Facebook Market Place.

Likely it would sell on eBay, but fees and shipping would cut into your value.

I'd like to have it for myself, but shipping would likely be prohibitive.

Looks like these Mac's sell between $100-$200 on eBays sold listings:

If I had to say the value of your's I put it between $200-$250 with everything you have, but that's just my opinion.

As another reference point, the two 512k's on the German ebay sold for €300 and €550 respectively (might have been the same machine relisted once). But prices in the US tend to be lower.

Thank you everyone! What about if it’s located in Guam? Change anything?

I'm not totally up to speed on current shipping rates, especially to and from islands, but if shipping costs are high then that'll probably hurt the value if you have to send it somewhere.

Shipping from Guam to anywhere in the mainland US would be cost prohibitive. Try selling it locally and if you can't get a good price, hold on to it. Save it for your kids or grandkids.... Be worth more then.
