get your Apple Memorabilia - Massive Apple Memorabilia Fundraiser

[Monster]

from TidBITS

It's the situation all freelancers dread: a troubled economy, a lack of health insurance, and impending medical costs. That has led graphic designer and long-time TidBITS reader Blair Saldanah to part with one of the largest collections of Apple memorabilia we've ever seen. He has items from the very beginning of Macintosh history, so if you collect Apple t-shirts, posters, keychains, brochures, disks, or hardware, now's a good chance to add to your collection and help out a fellow Mac user. Prices are negotiable.

A bittersweet experience...

A. I am sad for the situation that he has now found himself in.
B. It seems that I potentially have hundreds of dollars' worth of Apple marketing material lying around.

So what do you think this would be worth? It's never been put on a car except for this picture. They were given to favorite customers by Apple Centre Oman in Muscat where my wife was the training manager in 1992. It really was signed by the Woz when he visited the Houston Area Apple Users Group a few years ago. It's not for sale. I'm just curious.



Good luck with the fundraiser.

I have an E-World brochure and a PowerBook 180 with a missing rear cover. I could get like probably a buck, buck and a half right? Oh and a Performa 6320 CD. Yeah, livin' large! I'm gonna go look at vacation homes!

All I've got to say is I'm going to be real careful with what I post on the the next Free Monday.

He may get and deserve sympathy purchases but man, the stuff I saw there is uncommon at best and very expensive....

A lot of that documentation is borderline worthless without the hardware. AOL floppy!?! I used to request them under different names to the same address just to get free floppies. Out of the three dozen in my old floppy library (hopefully to be checked and thrown out/recycled before I move again), I might have one with the original data on it. A collection of every version ever made might be worth something assuming they still worked.

T-Shirts for $200 seems a little steep. Is one of them from the first store ever opened? I would not buy one without expecting to wear it, maybe $50.

geez, at those prices, I've given away way too much Apple stuff...

probably ought to take better care of my Apple Super Bowl XIX seat cushion. I feel for the guy having to sell, but in this economy most of those numbers are rather unrealistic...

My son discovered that his original 5Gig iPod has revived itself. He was able to put songs on it and charge it up after being put to pasture a long time ago with an apparent HD failure.
