"Market" for old macs?

[Teo Zenios]

Depends on what kind of machines you like collecting.

Personally I think the SE/30 was one of the best compact macs made (B&W
anyway) and would not mind having one. 603's would be in the give away
category for the most part, while LC/IIsi have fans but were never the best
machines of the era.
