Need some help with the value of a couple of old Macs

Post by Calavera »

I have two old Power Macintosh computers. One is a 5260/100 the other is a 5500/225. The 5260 seems to work fine, I just had it booted up and it seemed to have no problems. It does have cosmetic problems though, the case is entirely yellowed and there is a bit of rust around the printer port. The 5500/225 seems to power on fine but has no picture. I have just one mouse and keyboard and planned on selling them together. I figured I'd put them on Craiglist for $100 for the lot. What do you think? Fair price? Too high? Too low? I honestly have no idea if they are worth anything and didn't really find any for sale or sold when looking around.

Looks like there are no Power Mac experts at BG, besides you Cal.

There are a couple of sold ones on ebay, they are new systems though.

Lol I'm no expert. The only times I have ever even used a Mac was back in elementary school. Never cared from them, somebody was giving these away so of course I took them. If I get $100 for both of them that is fine with me.

I have a Mac but its an Aluminum one from 2007. it needs a RAM upgrade so it can have a newer OS installed but apart from that is still a great computer
