Selling A Laserwriter IINT

[Mac-A-Matic]

Thinking about selling this old LaserWriter IINT printer I have sitting around the house. It's a January 1988 build which means it's "vintage."

How much is it worth? And what's the best way of selling it?

BTW, if anyone is interested, I'm in Towson, Maryland.

The IINT doesn't have built-in ethernet so it's a little tough to use with OSX. It's slow, only 300dpi, heavy and, well, old. I've had to recycle working IINTXes that were a little newer than yours because I couldn't even freecycle them.
Those were great printers in their day, but alas, I don't think they are anymore.

I will give you $1, but you have to pay the shipping.

Mac,

See if you can get your hands on a Laserwriter IIg motherboard and an AAUI to ethernet adapter. Once you have those, you can swap the motherboards and throw the printer onto an ethernet network. The swap takes all of five minutes. The printer will be slow by current standards but definitely usable, even at 300 x 300 dpi.

We used one at my office for printing invoices from the late '90s until just a few years ago. I replaced the IIg with another used laserwriter. I forget the model number but used an Appletalk to ethernet box - an asante model - to throw it on the network. worked great for printing UPS labels.

Old and slow, sure, but definitely perfectly usable depending on the tasks required of it.
