No, this doesn't belong in Neopets chat tongue.gif

Alright, so about 2 years ago, when my grandfather passed away, he left me an old Apple //e computer system, more software than you can shake a stick at, and shelves full to the damn brim with related books and manuals.

Now, all of this is just taking up space, and while I don't mind it here, it'd be nice to get it out of the house and make some money with it biggrin.gif

Does anyone know of some website I could use to find out approximate value of said possessions? I've tried searching for each book on ebay, amazon, hell.. even on the book's publishers websites.. hasn't helped much laugh.gif

Conversely, is there anyone here interested in a vintage computer system to toy around with? Programmers, maybe? It supports Applesoft BASIC out of the box, and I believe there's compilers for Fortran and Pascal as well (as well as manuals and books for said languages).


Let me know if you'd be interested, or if you have any suggestions for my problem smile.gif

    Ebay is the way to go, but considering that your grandpa died (sorry btw) I would keep it.
