Auction #180748758152
It will be interesting to see what this goes for! The shipping price is
simply absurd, though, and that always gives me pause. Unit looks to be clean
and functional (but mine's older, hehe).

Hi!

II Plus in a really old case. And with the new, two-piece keyboard.

It must be the bag. Someone must really want to capitalize on his retro 70s

attempt at forgery, or if he simply doesn't realize. I did notice that it had
the black slot connectors (mine, and others I've seen, used green AMP
connectors with panel-mount tabs).
The power supply may be original (not all of them were silkscreened), but
since he doesn't show the rear apron it's hard to tell.
Inflated shipping prices _always_ start ringing the alarm bells, but I didn't
spot the details - thanks.

correct, and original ROMs must be a big plus.
But the first II referenced by this thread is a very poor example.

It's not just the ][+, it also includes a //e and apparently 2 monitors.

That surely explains the shipping costs.
Sean's $5k sale is the one that creeps me out.

OK, now I'm a little freaked out - is it THREE machines?
The title shows an original ][ - this should be pre-autostart roms and
include the ram blocks as previously described.
The subtitle says - "Plus to bonus computers Apple IIe and Apple II Plus.."
That could be where pictures are confusing us - the screen shot of the boot
and the motherboards might be the ][+
In the description we see -
"Also comes with both apple monitors."

auction will get the apple II plus and the apple IIe as a gift
from me to you. If you are going to purchase this you
might as well get there cousins. I want these to stay
together and have a good home."
So, it appears there are three machines with multiple monitors. $150
shipping doesn't seem that bad now.
But it would be nice to have pics of all the machines and proper enumeration
of just what is included (and what cards are installed).

conclusion:
He's advertising an early serial number case with an Apple II Plus
motherboard and the new-style keyboard. In fact, the motherboard in my II
Plus is older than the one shown. I'd say that the one that he's trying to
sell is a 7th revision board.
All of the pictures are of this machine, and it is described in the main
body of text. However, he mentions to other machines which are also seen in
the background of one of the pictures: a II Plus, and a IIe. These two
machines are, however, not the "main event."
In any case, it's still neat to get early Apple II equipment, peripherals
(the Disk II has a decently-low SN), and manuals. And close examination does
not reveal evidence contrary to what the seller is stating (in other words,
he's not claiming a rev 0 board or Integer ROMs).
Seller's description:
Up for auction is The Apple II 1977 computer. This Computer is very special
and Rare.
This is the 4364 Apple Computer ever made by Apple. How cool is that.
It comes with original Dos software all 3 disks plus the manual.
Also comes with original apple reference manual and low serial number disk
drive S/N4474
Also i have a very rare apple Orchard magazine as well. I have other manuals
and tapes
i just have to find them. Also comes with both apple monitors.
I have never seen a Apple II with this low serial number out there.
Not many of these left in the world, most were thrown out or recycled.
Minor blemishes, Needs to be dusted off.
As i am feeling in the Christmas spirit whoever wins this
auction will get the apple II plus and the apple IIe as a gift
from me to you.
1 Apple II Computer S/N 4264 1 Apple disk drive S/N 04474. 1 Apple II

The seller for 180748758152 (Terry Wilkerson) smells like a crook. I
asked Terry if that was the original motherboard since it looked like
a board from a later II+ and he replied that it was in fact upgraded
at some point. Apparently he doesn't feel obligated to post that
information in his auction.

It's getting to the point where pure *pragmatism* is making me want to
cash out on my own Rev 0, even though I regularly use it (which, from
a standpoint of preservation, is the best thing for it).
