Apple 1
Lisa 1/2
TAM
128k/512k
Macintosh TV
SE/30

Those are pretty much what most people want to have in a collection. Some are so rare they are nearly impossible to find.
Click to expand...

128K/512K and the SE/30 are all quite common luckily enough. The rest though, yeah, finding them can be an adventure.
 
Currently owned classics
  • 1984 Apple Lisa II
  • 1984 128k Macintosh
  • 1989 Macintosh Portable
  • 1997 20th Anniversary Macintosh

https://flic.kr/p/o1NjfJ

I'm actually quite proud of my little collection, it sits beautifully on my National Geographic collection like some pieces of art. Unfortunately, the Portable has a broken battery and the Lisa has a weird display issue, but the others work perfect. One day they'll all be perfect.

My daily driver is temporarily a 2009 Mac Mini (until the new MacBooks arrive) and I also own a 2nd gen iPod (2002) and a U2 5G iPod.

I've owned a few dozen Apple products over the last 5 years, but I sold most of them in less than a month after buying them because of my limited budget (even made some money with this). The list includes over 40 iPods and over 20 Macs. Not sure if I should post them all ;)
 
Currently I posses:

Computers:

MacBook Pro 13" 2.3GHz (My Main Workhorse)
Power Mac G5 2.0GHz DC
iMac G4 17" 800MHz
Power Macintosh 8600/250
Macintosh Classic II
Macintosh 512Ke
Apple II Plus

Other:

2nd Gen iPod 10GB
2nd Gen iPod Touch 8GB
iPhone 4s 16GB
Apple Cinema Display 23"
Apple Monitor III
AirPort Extreme
AirPort Express (x3)
Apple 800K External Drive
Disk II Drive (x2)
LocalTalk Adapter (x4)
OSX 10.1 Discs
OSX 10.2 Discs
OSX 10.3 Discs

(PM 8600, Classic II and 512Ke are all part of the same awesome LocalTalk Network! :D )

Have you seen the ebay posting of "Great-Apple-Collection" located in Costa Rica?
Very impressive. Just about everything made and nicely staged as it looks to be in the person's man/woman cave. It's listed for $40,000 or best offer and appears 2 offers have so far been refused.
Can't imagine how you'd get the stuff out or even packed up to go, but well
worth a look with some excellent and numerous pictures.
I'll try posting the link but not sure if that's allowed here?
