The only problem with this is most students (like me) can get a brand
new Mac SE with two drives and and ImageWriter printer for about the
same price.  We get Apple's warranty, a brand new computer, and the only
thing we miss is some of the little extra accessories (and 100+ disks of
software).  Personally, I would rather have a new system with a warranty
than an old one that is supposedly in mint condition (no, I'm not
calling you a liar, I'm just saying that your idea of mint condition may
not be the same as my idea of mint condition -- it is a rather nebulous
statement, and thus hard to define).  If you really want to get some
serious nibbles, you're going to have to lower your price further, to
about the $2000 mark or so (I would guess).
