What are Mac SE/30 machines worth today?

[DouglasCarroll]

Hi everyone,

Weird question I know but do people still mess around with the old compact Mac SE/30 machines? I found one at work they were throwing out and grabbed it. Still works it seems, but I'm not sure (?) if it has a hard drive or not. Seems to boot up but it's literally been about 20 years since I messed with one and not exactly sure how to mess around with this one if I want to.

Thanks for any info!

If it's working, with no battery damage to the logic board, and little capacitor damage / trace issues, its worth at least $300. If it's cosmetically in good shape as well, it could potentially be worth north of $600.

And if it's working, either remove the battery and get it recapped, or sell it to somebody who will.
Not doing so will ensure it will stop working, to the point of being pretty much irreparable in anything from weeks to a few years, with weeks/months being the most likely timeframe.
