New-in-box Apple IIc

Dan Budiac has memories of his Apple II computer when growing up, it was his first computer and as he is now a New York Web developer it means a lot to him. When he saw an unboxed Apple IIc made by Apple Computer Inc (as it was known then) on eBay he knew he wanted it right away.

He won the auction, which totaled $2,600 (including delivery), and could not wait to get the same model Apple II he grew up with two decades ago. Many collectors could not stand the idea of opening up a mint, unboxed 20 year old computer but Budiac could not wait to do so.
