Look it up in Mac Appraiser (v. 1.3 is now on the NUMUG server under
NUMUG_Utilities.) I checked it myself, and you're losing upwards of $150
on the deal, using August 1 prices, and that's not counting the extra RAM
(only lists 8 or 16) or the DOS card.

Thanks, John. I'm not sure where they get those higher prices though,
because I can't see the machine being worth that much.

Hey, less than 2 weeks ago, I visited the local used Mac place and they
had Color Classics at $350 apiece. Now, the Color Classic is an 030
machine with no more than 10 Mb of RAM, and I can't see anyone giving them
large hard disks for resale (in other words, the probably had no more than
160 Mb each). They had pretty small monitors and these weren't accelerated
or anything. Now, that's a pretty good business. They actually sell the
Macs they carry. If they can get $350 for such a lousy machine, you should
be able to get at least, say, $600 for yours.

(You might, however, want to look around for Used Mac stores... they might
buy it from you to resell it.)
