Title: NeXT Station Color Collection for sale
Post by: mc2 on June 02, 2024, 03:58:50 PM
Hi --  new to this group!. But an early adopter of the NeXT computer -- it was my first computer back in 1991 and I used it to start my own graphic design company while finishing up university. I've been storing it safely for over 30 years, but it's time to let it go as I've downsized.

If anyone here has any knowledge they could share about the approximate worth of this collection -- or wants to make any offers -- I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thank-you so much!





++++++++++++++++++
WHAT WORKS:
Fired it up and it turned on right away and booted in terminal. Display was nice and clear with no banding. Made it through some checks but got stuck on "waiting for drive". Was able to cancel — so we know keyboard, monitor and computer all work, but unsure if drive will eventually boot up or if some handy pro or enthusiast can troubleshoot software or take this apart and bring it back to life. Not able to test printers.

PRICE WOULD INCLUDE:
All inventory below
Some cables missing (noted)
No warranty that all works (is 30+ years old!)
Buyer pays directly for all shipping, customs and insurance (or can pick up if local in Vancouver, BC). Will determine costs once buyer selected and location determined.

Hello NeXT Community: I saw this one and yes it is a nice collection and I sent him a note. my offer is probably not going to be his best offer as I have to buy everything right. That includes shipping to me, fees , repairs and overhead. I also suggested he may be able to get more on eBay and or the forums but it is a lot more work and not everybody wants to go for the lot. The oter thing is cash flow for me as I've invested in 50 metal combo floppy plates for cubes and just purchased a round of sound cards and Zulu Cards and equipment to make better quality videos. 
Then the NeXT run of Inside NeXT as well as my upcoming surgery ...


I have also had some good sales , the way I look at it I don't need  to own all the NeXT equipment in the world lol and I want to give others a chance to buy a cool collection like this the economy is tight.

It is like a game of musical chairs and a prime example is the high end watch market value has been plummeting , the housing market is crazed . I'm not saying retro hardware values will decline as they are on the uptick , the advantage of NeXT hardware is rarity.

I also said even if he doesn't sell to me , I will be happy to let him know if I know the potential buyer fortunately most people in the NeXT Community are honest . I'm patient not in a hurry , he is welcome to test the waters and he has my offer and it would be a simple quick sale:)
