Apple IIc Computer?

Question

First, my father-in-law is a pack rat. He has one of EVERYTHING. He’s in the process of moving so he called to say that he was bringing a computer over for the kids (3 and 1 years old). Turns out it’s an Apple IIc. I have no idea what to do with it. Do I donate it to a museum, sell it to a antique collector, or do I set it up for the kids to “push buttons” before they learn on a working computer? The computer was given to him for free when it was new and the boxes are still sealed......it’s never been opened. I don’t know what to do with the thing. To make it worse I use Windows and I don’t know the first thing about an Apple. Any thought?

Follow-up question...
ьο_ғŕд ....You mentioned batteries? Doesn't it plug in like other computers? Yes, it has software with it.....on 5.25 floppy disks.

Answer 1

If I was you I wait a few years and keep it somewhere safe. Make sure it never is opened. Sell it sometime in the future and it will be worth a lot of money.

Answer 2

If the box is sealed and has never been opened, don't open it, it may be worth some real serious $$$. Collectors would love an unopened model.

Answer 3

Put that on ebay and a collector will buy it if it's really unopened. Aside from that it isn't worth anything to you in terms of running programs.

Answer 4

Unopened then sell it to a collector, probably worth a lot.

Even Mac heads won't know how to use it.

Answer 5

I'll take it :D

Make a fishtank or something...if that's not an option... :(

I'd say let your kids pound on it. Unless you can find a Mac nut who will pay you something decent for it.

Answer 6

Yes. EBay it.
