How Much Is Your Old Vintage Apple Mac Computer Worth?
Are you sitting on a Jackpot?
Since the passing of Apple's founder, Steve Jobs, in 2011, vintage Macintosh computers are finally seeing a resurgence in popularity. For those of you who decided to keep your old Macs, this is good news for you! Now these charming old machines are fetching a decent penny on eBay and Craigslist.
Below, we'll compare the 1980s sticker price with what it's currently going for. All prices are suggestive.
Apple I
The original Apple Computer, the Apple I, is considered one of the most valuable and collectable computers in the world. Only 575 units were ever sold, making it the rarest one around. Today, there are only 61 confirmed to exist, only six of which are functional.
In 2013, an Apple 1 sold at Christie's Auction for $390,000. Several have also appeared on eBay over the years, where the highest successful bid was $43,000.
Apple 1 Replica
These often surface on eBay. These are either the 'Replica 1' from Briel Computer or the Newton NTI clone. The value for an unassembled replica hovers around $1,000 for the kit.
Regarding Apple/Macintosh 'Clones'
During the brief and unsuccessful Apple cloning years, a number of machines emerged using licensed hardware and software. Most were inferior in both performance and quality. Today, their value is difficult to ascertain, as no two clones were truly identical. Many are considered undesirable and sell for just a few hundred dollars, if that.
Apple II Series
One of the first successful home computer systems, the Apple II sold from 1977 to 1993. It was their first mass produced personal computer and was released in a number of models, each improving on its predecessor. In total, six million were sold, many going to schools and companies, making it the very first computer available for use in public schools.

Apple III
Released in 1980, the Apple III attempted to improve on the highly successful Apple II, instead it was a flop. When it was first released, it was very unstable, couldn't function and ultimately had to be recalled and released as the Apple III Revised. Aimed as a business computer, the Apple III came with a then industry standard typewriter keyboard layout. While a stable version was eventually released, the Apple III Plus, its already tainted reputation and the release of IBM's DOS PC ultimately killed the Apple III.

Apple Lisa / Macintosh XL
Named after Steve Jobs' daughter, Lisa, this was one of the final models released before the introduction of Macintosh in 1984. Aimed at corporations, the computer's hefty price tag of $10,000 in 1984 was considered too great a risk to take and sales were poor. In 1986, the Lisa was renamed the Macintosh XL and fitted with an emulator to run Mac OS.

Mac 128 K All-in-One Computer
Released in January 1984 as the very first Macintosh, the 128k was the first personal computer to feature a Graphic User Interface, a basic feature that would define home computing for decades to come. The 128k was also the first to feature a 3.5" floppy disk drive. Adding to its collector's value is the travel case that came with every 128k. Complete, non-upgraded systems, with original packaging, manuals, software disks, and travel case, will easily fetch $2,000+ on eBay.

Macintosh 512k All-in-One Computer
Identical to the 128k with the exception of its expanded memory, the 512k 'Fat Mac' was discontinued in 1986 when it was replaced by the 512ke.
Today, a functioning external floppy drive is highly collectable with an average selling price of $200.

Built to replace the SE/30, the Classic II was the last of the Black & White Compact Macs. Whopping fast at 16 MHz with an 80 Mb hard drive and 10 Mb of RAM. It was also the last model to include an external drive port.
Apple officially discontinued support for the Classic II in 2001, ten years after its introduction.
Complete Unit
Mint Condition: Up to $350
Average Selling: Up to $150
Broken Selling: $40
Macintosh Portable
Apple's very first battery powered computer, the portable was a total failure when it was released in 1989. It was heavy, slow, expensive, and had no expansion capabilities. While voted one of the worst tech gadgets of all time, the Portable holds the title as the first computer to ever send an email from space.
Its overall collector's value lies in its batteries. The original lead-based batteries are no longer made, and like a car battery, permanently fail if depleted completely due to inactivity or neglect. Units that still function today often have rebuilt batteries or have been modified to use lithium-ion batteries of the same voltage.
Complete System (w/ Rebuilt Batteries):
Mint Condition: Up to $1,000
Working Condition: Up to $700
Broken: $40-$100

Complete System:
Mint Condition: Up to $500
Working Condition: Up to $150
Broken: $10-$50
Apple JLPGA PowerBook 170
A multi-colored edition Powerbook 170, the JLPGA was built as a commemorative for the 1992 JLPGA Golf Tournament in Japan. Underneath the flashy facade were the workings of a basic Powerbook 170. It was never intended to be a powerful machine but what makes it valuable is that only 500 were ever produced.
Complete System
Mint Condition: Up to $9,000
Working Condition: Up to $7,000
Broken: Up to $1,000
To date, the JLPGA is the only PowerBook 170 worth some serious coin. The typical value of a standard dark grey model is less than $250.
Macintosh Color Classic
Apple's first color compact Macintosh, the Color Classic ultimately set the stage for the iMac. Essentially a Performa platform computer inside a retro Mac body, even today the Classic has a cult following not seen since the original Macintosh. Some Color Classics have been modified to include an ethernet card that can still connect to broadband networks.

20th Anniversary Commercial
Macintosh TV
Released as a limited edition in 1993, the Macintosh TV was one of the few desktops ever released in black and Apple's first attempt at computer-television integration. Equipped with a cable TV ready tuner card and a television monitor, the TV could switch from a computer to a television set in a matter of seconds and even came with a remote control. Yet it was incapable of recording live video, only still frames. Its poor processor speed and other limitations made the unit a failure and ultimately only 10,000 were sold.

Broken: Up to $100
Part Out Value: $150 - $300

Macintosh G4 Cube
Before the Mac Mini, there was the G4 Cube, Apple's first attempt to build a small profile desktop computer. Unfortunately, it was a flop. Its limited capabilities and uncomfortably high price tag forced the Cube into the grave after just one year. The model was unofficially replaced by the Mac Mini. Despite its failure, the Cube did gain a cult following similar to that of 80s Macs.
Complete System
Mint Condition: Up to $600
Working Condition: $200-$350
Broken: Up to $100

Valuable or Worthless?
Remember, not every Macintosh is jackpot. Many unremarkable models exist today worth just a few hundred dollars or less, for a multitude of reasons:
- The model was neither revolutionary in concept or function or just simply a filler model to build out the Apple product line. These were particularly common in the years leading up to Steve Jobs' return in 1997.
- The model was so mass produced that more than 60% of all units still exist today.
- Servers or other industrial configured models stripped it of all consumer functionality.
- Not enough time has passed for it to be considered a worthwhile collector's item. With the exception of the iPhone 1 and a few others, most collectable machines are 30 years or older.
Systems Worth $150 or Less
The following systems are currently worth $150 or less, regardless of condition, in the current eBay market:
- Centris 650
- iMac G3 Biege or Color
- iMac Dome & Swivel
- Imaginewriter Printer
- Imaginewriter II Printer
- LCIII
- Macintosh 512Ke
- Macintosh IISi
- Macintosh Performa 600
- Macintosh Performa 636

Apple iPad – 1st Generation
2010, yet another milestone year for Apple with the release of the iPad. Against all predictions of certain failure, the iPad's success ushered in the beginning of the tablet era of computing. The 1st generation iPad established screen sizing and control placement that would make up every generation since. Factory sealed units with early serials numbers can fetch a decent amount if the timing is right.

What You Need to Know Before You Sell
Not every vintage computer is a jackpot. Some models happen to sell better than others. A Mac 128k, for example, can fetch well over $2,000 on eBay while its newer cousin the 512k will fetch only $500. Sentimental value is not the same as resale value. Dozens of listings go unsold because of a ridiculous price of say $10,000 for an old, unremarkable machine that has no accessories or desirables.
There are several factors to take into account when listing your vintage Mac:
- First is condition: Does it work? Naturally, a working computer will sell for more than a broken one.
- Secondly, what you include with it will also help determine its value. A listing that includes a keyboard, mouse, original install disks, and software will attract a better price than a listing for a computer body by itself.
- There is absolutely no guarantee you will hit a high selling bid. Like all auctions, it is risky and can be as big of a disappointment as it could be a jackpot. Sellers beware!
Part Out vs. Complete System
Some computer models are actually worth more in parts. A Mac SE/30 may only fetch $100 as a complete unit but could fetch nearly $400 in parts. Certain parts are highly prized (like the internal floppy drive, the ram, etc.).
Upgrade kits are very valuable today. Different economics applied to computers in those days. The thought of buying a new computer every two years was unheard of, so the idea was that you bought it, made repairs as needed, and kept it until it completely wore out. Macs were originally designed to be upgraded rather than replaced. By the late 80s, it became apparent that hardware limitations impeded upgrades and by the early 90s, Apple abolished upgrading altogether.
Research what your computer has and it will help determine whether it is worth more as a complete unit or as a parts box. The prices contained on this page are based on successful eBay listings, not unsold listings. In other words, anyone can ask for $10,000 for a Mac Plus, but nobody's going to pay that much for it.
How to Format Your Listing
The type of auction you choose greatly improves or reduces your chances for a successful sale. When setting up your listing, use the following:
- Auction Style listings for vintage computers have a 95% success rate. A Buy-It-Now, even with a low price, will actually hurt your chances of maximizing profit.
- 3 Day Auction: A quick sale is a good sale. Bidding stops after three days.
- Bullet Lists keep it short, sweet, and simple. Vintage computers sell really well on eBay Mobile. Write your listing keeping that tiny cell phone screen in mind. Avoid writing paragraphs of information, as a long listing will actually deter an impulse buyer.
- Pictures, Pictures, Pictures! The more pictures you have, the greater your chances of a sale!

I have a mackintosh lcll complete with monitor and printer all mackintosh brand new in original packaging what is the value of it
Interesting piece, though you overlooked the Apple-1 (sold by myself) at Bonhams in 2015 for $905,000 - still the world record for an Apple-1
I have an a Radio Shack TRS-80 color computer. What is it worth?
I have an Apple Macintosh Classic in mint condition. What is a value of this computer? Thanks!!
This is a great article. What do you envisage for computers built during and after the 90’s? Do you see a resurgence of people collecting working Apple computers as long term investments, for instance an eMac 2004 model A1002? I imagine the lower the number of units produced the higher the value appreciation. Would these be equally as valuable for parts?
I’m curious what will happen with technology capabilities in the future. At present processing power seems the great driver of IT, though I wonder whether new ideas will decrease the need for processing power and allow for tech to evolve to allow interopability with old tech.
Have you heard of an EMac metro 80?
HI Jason - i have a Mac II Si...is this the model that you reference int eh article as A2S1?
Does anyone know the value of a PowerBook G4
Author, you said that the se value is in the article but I can only find the se/30 which is significantly different.
I have an Apple 1 previously owned by an Apple developer. It is not functional. Will I have better luck selling it on ebay or contacting an auction house? If auction house, can you recommend the best for this type of product?
Besides eBay, are there other websites where I can sell my Macintosh computers?

Where did you get your figures on the Apple 1--in particular 575 sold? According to Jobs, he told me that there were only 200 built of which 175 were actually sold. Jobs gave the others away to some of the early Apple employees. Woz verified these figures also. I think the most paid for one so far was about $910,000 by the Henry Ford Museum. I have owned 3 Apple 1 computers myself of which 2 of them were still functional. One of those sold at Breker's in Germany a few years ago for $645,000 and another is now in a museum in Turin, Italy.

Hi Jason thanks for this great article
I have a Color Classic that has a motherboard with a power PC 603 in it, maybe from a power Mac 5200. I was wondering if that would increase the value and what you think I should ask for it. Also I don't have a working mouse for it, is there anyway to open system information with the keyboard?
Thanks

Unfortunately the LaserWriter isn't worth anything. It can fetch $100 on a good day, regardless of condition.
My father has a complete system, Macintosh 1mb with external floppy (I believe, but will check) and a LaserWriter printer. I haven't seen any posts that mention the LaserWriter. Is the LaserWriter of any value? Is the system worth anything?
I have a Apple Multiple Scan 17'' Display Family ID: AK8M2494, Manufactured July 1995 (S15300Y91XX) and aPower Macintosh 7500/100.
How much should I ask?

@Davaoda If its still in the box, never opened, it would be considered mint condition. With the right timing it could probably fetch $1,000 or more.
I have an Apple IIc that is in the original box and never opened. The box has been in the original shipping box and is mint. Any idea of a value ? Thanks.

The Apple Quadra series isn't worth much, fetching an average selling price on eBay for $50.00 for a complete system.
I've got a fully functioning Quadra 605 with Apple Full Color 14" Display, Working Apple Keyboard and Mouse. I've also got all start up disks, user guides, and extra cords. How much can I expect?
Thanks!!!

I have a vintage distressed leather messenger bag with the word logo "Apple" embroided into the flap. This bag is cool. Really cool. It is in excellent condition and would be in mint condition had one of the pockets inside not have it's stitching pull loose.
I worked for Apple as a Genius in a Florida store and when I brought this bag in to show everyone people were throwing out all kinds of $$$ they were willing pay to buy it from me. I thought the bag was too cool to sell. Heck, for all I know this could have been Steve Jobs own personal laptop bag!
I would love to be able to find another one like it or at very least, find out what the value of this one is. Anybody have any ideas?
What a wonderful resource! Thank you so much for this webpage. I have read all of the comments and previously you gave prices on Apple IIe's. I have 8 of them. What I really need info on are values for the Color Monitor and the Imagewriter Printer. I have 2 or 3 of each of these. Also I have so many disks and manuals. Of these, which would be valuable? Thank you again : )

I have the dome and swivel iMac. I've upgraded the ram as far as I can, but it just runs too slow. Is there anyone who can renovate it or bring it up to modern speed, maybe replace the processor or the whole internals?
I have a working Quadra 700 with the PowerPC nubus upgrade card, keyboard and mouse.
Any idea on value?
I have Mac LC 520 manufactured in 1993 but don't have the keyboard .What price can I expec
Any ideas on value of PowerBook 100. Just gave one away to be recycled but can still track it down.
Interesting article, Enjoyed reading it.
Hi Jason, I would to like your price tags on these 3 Apple's I've got (all Euro specs):
1. Apple Macintosh 128K upgraded to 512K (just the chipset, drive is 400K) with original box incl. keyboard and mouse and original keyboard box, power cable box and plastic software box. Boxes are not in pristine condition but fine (and rare I thought);
2. Apple IIGS with monitor, keyboard, mouse and cd drive with absolute pristine boxes of computer, monitor and cd drive with manuals and floppy disks. All original, used, but in a super state;
3. Apple Macintosh II, with keyboard and mouse, original box (shows signs of its oldness) and absolute pristine (they are like new!) boxes of Apple Extended Keyboard, Apple Macintosh II Video Card, Apple Macintosh II Card Expansion Kit.
I do have more vintage Apple gear, also with original boxes, incredible stuff. But I'de appreciate your valued opinion on the computers named above.

The upgrade damages the value. Upgraded M0001s have an average selling price of $350-600.00.
Now the upgrade package by itself, especially if unopened and in its original packaging, is worth serious money
How much does the 512k upgrade affect the price of the Macintosh M0001?
This is a very interesting article. I had a great time reading it. great information.

Hi,
I have a mountain full of Apples and accessories.
Looking for someone who can do a join write-up for " Crowd funding an Apples recycle museum using Apple parts to build replica 0f - coliseum, golden gate bridge, stadium".
As a long time Apple user, this was valuable information to know. I've ditched my old computers in the past with way past expired warranties. I could've gotten some money from my old Imac and and Ibook computers. Maybe next time, if there is one... Thanks for this lens.

Hi. Yes, you can send pictures of the prototypes to jponic@gmail.com, might be able to look into how much they might be worth.
Thank you very much for letting me know. I appreciate it.
I have some internal prototypes and was looking for an opinion on how to market them and what they might be worth...
1. A clear plastic Mac Classic CPU. They only made a few of these to check the molds sometimes. It works too!
2. A clear plastic version of a Mac Portable (the big heavy one)... the battery is bad so it is not working as of yet, but I'm sure it does actually work.
3. An early prototype version of a "Fat Mac" in an European case (but with US voltage power supply). It also works. Has original Keyboard and mouse.
4. A clear plastic prototype of the original mouse.
5. Another probably working internal Prototype of a Mac Portable but in the normal Beige color, just marked as a prototype and not for sale etc.
Any ideas or help will be much appreciated... I will be glad to send pictures if it will help...
Thanks...

The 1st generation Intel iMacs are not 20 years old, you sure you bought it 20 years ago?
Hello! I've been offered an iMac, OS10, 2.66 GHz Intel Core Duo with 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory. It works, was bought 20 or so years ago when a print shop shut down.
What would this be worth?
thanks a lot!
Hello. I have a Macintosh Performa 636 complete, in the original packaging. I can't find anything about it anywhere. Any help/advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
I realize you are doing this for free in your spare time. Thank you so much!
