What's it worth: Metaphor Workstation

[What's it worth: Metaphor Workstation]

Nice, pick it up if the price is right

 

That's the question... what's the right price? I don't know yet if it's functional, and the seller is the owner's daughter-in-law, so she doesn't know much more than I do about it.

[What's it worth: Metaphor Workstation]

I'm going to pick up a Metaphor Workstation from an estate sale next week. I'd never heard of them before, so did a little Googling, and now I'm intrigued enough to buy it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphor_Computer_Systems

 

Problem is, there's not enough information online to give me any indication what it's worth.

 

Any suggestions on a fair offer? Or how "rare" a complete setup would be (or should I say RARE! [email protected]@K!)

 

 

[WTB: Apple M0100 mice]

I'm looking for Apple M0100 mice (Mouse IIe, Mouse IIc, or similar models). I'll take them in any condition - broken, missing pieces, cut cable, bad attitude. My plan is to make USB optical mice out of them to sell. There are a bunch on eBay, but people want ridiculous amounts for them, even in bad shape.

If you send me one, and want it converted, I'll give you a break on the final price (as yet, undetermined). If you send me more than one, you can get one of them back, converted to USB for free.

If you just want to offload your old mice, I'm offering $10 each in good condition, $5 for broken ones. I'll also pay for (reasonable) shipping.

Message me if you have one (or a box full) you want to get rid of.

[Ideas on how to get some clear rigid plastic pipe (tube) locally.]

try amazonsupply.com - there's all kinds of materials and strange parts there that you might otherwise never think of.

 

here's all their plastic tubing:

[WTB: M0100 mice]

Not sure if this should go in the marketplace or here, but since I'm looking for Apple hardware, I'll risk the banhammer and post in the Apple forum
