What would you evaluate a factory sealed Apple LCII set with monitor, keyboard etc, ? All sealed, never opened, new in box.

Never opened? That’s remarkable. $600-$700 US.. maybe? The LC II wasn’t a particularly powerful Mac.. nor an iconic one.

Thanks, yes I know. It's not the most wanted vintage computer.

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, the PRAM battery or the capacitors have probably leaked after all these years and thus destroyed the computer.

Unfortunately you see this often.

Hello everyone,

This would be the primary concern with any Mac of that era. Even the original unibody Macs are prone to those issues. The one thing that might work in your favor is the LCII still being in a sealed box.
