History: The Mac Plus was the answer to complaints that the original Mac was not expandable. It doubled the ROM of the 512k from 64k to 128k, and increased the RAM to 1 MB (expandable to 4 MB). It was the first Mac to include a SCSI port, allowing for a variety of external peripherals, and was the first Mac to use the now familiar platinum case color (although it initially shipped in beige). The Mac Plus originally sold for $2600 U.S., and was sold to educational markets as the Mac ED.

Asking $500 o.b.o.

Please let me know if you're able to get that much for the Mac Plus. I've got one as well and would love to get that kind of cash for it!

Are you out of your mind? $500? I can't stop laughing. You are kidding yourself if you think you can get anything remotely near that price.

It's a cool piece of history, but they go for $50 . . . if you're lucky. A lot of people I know give them away.

Good luck selling it.
