The Ultimate First Macintosh(?)
🕑 Added 2023-08-21 05:10:21 +0000 UTCI saw this posted on the Ontario classifieds today and thought I should share it.
Very impressive that this person kept everything, and kept it in like-new condition. I've never even seen the box for the carrying bag before, nor the Matisse-inspired line drawing of it. For some reason the seller does not take a picture of the bag itself.
That's a clean box! Typically at this price they would give a serial number...
Wow, beautiful! But is the power cord in the box? ;)
I've never seen the original ImageWriter box either... The ImageWriter is shown as functioning.
It works! Although the ad text is vague on this...Maybe a rear shot to see if it's been upgraded? A photo with the battery cover off?
Mouse and keyboard in the original un-yellowed colour. Nice!
I figured I should post pictures, as you never know when this ad will disappear. If it were closer, I'd ask for a viewing, but it's about 7 hours away. Overpriced for sure, even in Canadian dollars! ... I would value it at $1500-2000, but maybe I'm out of touch. Let me know what you think the value would be. Any other burning questions you would ask?
It's been a busy couple of weeks, so thanks for your patience! I'll be back soon with my own content to share. :)

That’s true. It was hard to get by without a second 400k drive. And the number pad was not uncommon. I’m surprised the early Plus had roughly the same packaging. I thought they would have revamped it by then. Great that you still have it!

I am surprised there is no external 400k drive or external number pad. My dad had a similar system back in the day but traded up to a beige (not platinum) Mac Plus which had similar packaging which I am fortunate to have to this day.
