These have been stuck in a loft for 20 years or so.
The macturns on but have no system disks.
No idea what to do with them, where to list them, or if they have any value at all.

Original Apple mac, witch carry case and the first 100 (about) issues of mac user magazine.

Any suggestions, where to list it or even if it is "bin it" would be appreciated.

I'm not trying to sell it here, I've no idea if I'm allowed to. I just don't want to bin something that someone may want.

Nice found. Definitely collectors items ...
Which Macintosh-model and is it in working condition? Any original booklets or disks?
That type of keyboard is often sold for a higher price, than the Macintosh itself.
The bag is also one of it's kind and adds to the price.
And the bunch of MacUser Magazines (including Premier Issue) is a precious too. https://www.americanmagazinecollection.com/macuser/
It's all something nice as a present to a Mac-enthusiastic friend etc. or an item, that be sold as a good price.
Look at current auctions etc to estimate a reasonable starting price and better don't start with 1$ ...

This is either a Mac 128K or 512K. Both are worth money, especially the former. Do not bin.
 
Thanks folks. I'll look into it.
What does the label on the back, upper right hand corner say the model is?

  • Macintosh - The original 128K Macintosh. Most valuable.
  • Macintosh 128K - Original but released after the 512K. Relabeled to differentiate it from the 512K.
  • Macintosh 512K - Enhancement to the Macintosh 128K. Not as valuable but does have good value.
If it says Macintosh or Macintosh 128 then you've got something that could potentially fetch a thousand or two dollars (assuming it has not been upgraded to the 512K as many were).
