I've spent the past two days looking at used Mac26Xs. I've seen about
half a dozen that were advertised for sale by owner. I was hoping to get
a real bargain but that seems to be too much to hope for. Why? Well,
it's because everybody luvs their Macs. Two of the sellers said they'd
rather just keep their Macs than sell them for a low-ball price. One
other guy says he buys a couple a year, cleans them up and fits them out
and sells them for thousands more than he paid for them. He says he
never has to sit on them for more than a month at most and most sell the
first week he puts them on the market. I've seen several really choice
ones but they wanted more for them than I paid for mine new.

That should tell you Mac bashers something. Macs are holding their
resale value so it means they keep staying very popular. I bet your
heavy keel boat can't make that statement. Compared to a Mac26X they are
a bad investiment.

What is nice about them, is people will pay you to
take them away.

You just don't know what you're talking about. Make your stupid lame
jokes but don't expect anybody to laugh because they ain't the least bit
funny, man. Just do some serious price shopping and you'll see how Macs
are selling for new prices even if they are five years old. Sure there's
some rough ones that aren't worth much but that's not the Macs fault.
It's just people who don't take care of anything. You know the type.
They buy something and then let it turn to ****. They use it up rather
than using it.
