A new in box Apple //c system was recently sold on eBay. This is quite remarkable; a vintage computer-- twenty-three years old-- that has never been opened. The people who ultimately won the auction posted a beautiful set of unboxing pictures. For a brief moment, it was 1984 all over again.

On Thursday night, Kathryn and I unboxed my latest eBay acquisition: an Apple //c. There are many vintage Apple II computers available for auction, but this one is special: It's never been opened. Ever. It hasn't seen the light of day since before it was shipped on May 5th, 1988.

Thats a rare find!!

holy crap it's like rediscovering life again >.<

Wow! Did it cost a bomb?

I think I have one of those sitting in the office collecting dust!

Unless I am an antique collector. I wonder if it can connect to the internet?

This is old news

But it still interesting

he buy from eBay? i tot he buy that machine when they are still on sale and keep it. Then the owner cannot tahan anymore and unboxing it.

Apple II huh. Thats one of the modern invention during old days. Compare it with iMac and you'll see technology change =)

And even then the design + packaging beats the PC. Kudos to the rare find!

sure the guy enjoyed the unboxing, furthermore its an rare antique

wow it sound so sweet... just like you found a love letter for you which you suppose to open it 20 year ago...
