not too long ago, I felt reason to flame against a poster trying to sell his
used Mac at exorbitant prices (also because he did not limit the distribution
of his message) - and in that connection the Boston Computer Exchange prices
were brought up, which seemed to be totally unrealistic to me also.

I hope you find the following interesting ...

The Sep 25 issue of Computer+Software News (a micro trade rag) lists BoCoEx
prices for Macs as follows:  (they keep track of historic highs and lows)

128K Mac	$1,050	(high-$1,500, low-$700)
512K Mac	$1,300	(high-$1,500, low-$1,200)
Mac+		$1,950	(high-$1,960, low-$1,925)

also
Apple IIe	$850 (1,200/500)
Apple IIc	$800 (950/600)
Apple +		$500 (500/300) New High !!!

-------------------------

local ComputerCraft has a sale until Oct 31:
(and they still may be trying to generate cash to avoid a collapse)

Mac+ - $1,899	Mac512kE - $1,499	Apple IIe - $1,199	Apple IIc $999
(the IIs include drive, color monitor, stand, some software)

they demo the GS, without giving a price in the ad

--------------------------

the University Consortium store prices here are:

Mac+ - $1,399	Mac512kE - $1,049

--------------------------

I was offered a used 128k with a third-party 512k upgrade for $750 this week.
I can get it for less, probably ....

--------------------------

isn't that interesting to compare ?

PS: Apple's current list prices are:

Mac+ $2,199,  512kE $1,699,  IIe $1,6333,  IIc $1,249
