I'm selling two 1989 Macs for $300K


💥 ** PLOP! ** 💥

“Whoa, what are these?” I ask my wife, Adri.

“Remember Mr. Dennis from next door?”

“Yeah, he passed away last year…”

“His wife found these in the garage.”

“What are they?”

“They are Apple Computer’s from when he worked there.”

“Oh yeah! I forgot he worked at Apple!”

“She was going to just throw them away… I figured you’d like them!”

“Wait a minute… are you telling me these are original Mac’s from when Dennis worked there in the 80s!?!?!”

“I think so… open them.”

OPEN THEM I DID!

Sure enough…

…these are two original Macintosh Computers from 1989!

Just a few years after the OG Mac launched in 1984.

Not only that, but Mr. Dennis kept the original everything, including the Tour Disk, “Open Me First” package, manual and even the case they sold it in.

And it turns on!

Everything in mint condition! 👇

How bananas is that!?

“You think they’re worth anything?” Adri asks.

“I don’t know, let me see.”

So I pop these pictures into ChatGPT and ask it what it’s worth…

…

Anticipating…

Pondering……. 🤔

Could these be worth… hundreds of thousands? Millions???

As I’m in my own head dreaming about the prestigious golf courses I am about to be traveling to with my family, frivolously spending my Mac Money…

ChatGPT responds with:

___

Yep — that’s a Macintosh SE FDHD, and the fact that yours is working, has the matching extended Apple keyboard, and still has some of the original documentation/software package makes it considerably worth more than a bare machine.

___

Oh boy oh boy!

Keep going, Chat!

___

Based on current 2026 sales, ordinary working SE/FDHD machines are generally selling around $200-300 each.

___

☹️☹️☹️

$200-300!?

I’ve known ChatGPT to make mistakes. In fact, right above the chat box it literally says “ChatGPT can make mistakes.”

So this must be a mistake!

I prompt back.

ALIN:

Clearly, you’ve made a mistake.

You forgot to add the “K” after 300.

You mean my Mac is worth 300K.

Right, Chatty?

CHATGPT:

No — I meant $300, not $300,000.

ALIN:

Would you like to buy it from me for $300K?

CHATGPT:

😂 For $300K, I'd expect Steve Jobs himself to come included.

Unfortunately, I can't buy things.

But I'll happily help you write a sales page convincing someone it's worth $300,000.

Now THAT would be a copywriting masterclass.

​
​

DAAAAAAAYUNG!

​
​
​

ChatGPT spittin’ bars talking about resurrecting our boy AND thinking it could write a sales page convincing someone it’s worth $300K!?!?!

Challenge accepted!

I immediately prompted back…

ALIN:

Yes, Chatty, write me that sales page.

Here’s what a came up with…


THE MACINTOSH THAT TIME FORGOT.

37 years old. Born in the golden age of Apple. Passed down from someone who worked at the company that changed the world.

Yours For Just $300,000.

Yes. Three hundred thousand American dollars.

​
​


🤦🤦🤦

Oh, Chatty.

"The Macintosh that time forgot" !?!?!

More like the HEADLINE that everyone FORGOT!

Lawd have mercy.

Let’s scroll down and see how you price anchor this thing…

___

WHY $300,000?

An excellent question.

A reasonable question.

A question that suggests you may not be emotionally prepared to own this Macintosh.

Because here's the thing…

The seller has decided...

$300,000 sounds about right.

Is that the appraised market value?

Absolutely not.

Is it the asking price?

Absolutely yes.

BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE.

Well...

Technically, Apple manufactured quite a few Macintosh SE FDHD computers.

But there's only one of this particular Macintosh.

___

​
​

😂😂😂

Chatty is like…

“Bro Sam Altman said I can't lie anymore so I'm genuinely unsure how to write this sales page” LOL

Step aside Chatty…

Watch ME sell this original 1989 Macintosh for $300,000.

​
​


GIVE ME LESS THAN 2 MINUTES, AND I WILL HAVE YOU BEGGING ME TO BUY THIS THIS OLD, SLOW AS MOLASSES 1989 MACINTOSH COMPUTER FOR $300,000!

​
​

Yesterday…

…I was handed a bucket of gold that I am now offering to only ONE person who wants to radically change their life TODAY.

It’s a 1989 Macintosh SE from an original employee who worked at Apple.

But that’s not what makes it worth the $300,000 you’re about to be begging me to pay.

It’s the documents on this Mac…

When I put the floppy disk in to see if it boots up, I found a handful of dusty old Microsoft Word files still saved...

👀

After going through each individual file… what I found was staggering...

I found never-before-seen documents that could be worth millions… let alone the $300,000 I’m asking you for…

Including:

– original engineering designs, prototypes, or development documents revealing a historically important Apple project that never launched

– unknown, authentic source code for an important Macintosh feature or application with documented involvement from original team members including Steve Wozniak...

– A genuine, previously unknown 1989 document establishing a serious plan or negotiation for Jobs to return to Apple years before his actual comeback

– An original exchange involving Jobs, Bill Gates, and other technology pioneers that reveals what could be a massive covered up scandal in the Apple world

And 18+ other documents just like this!


HOW MUCH BETTER WAS THAT THAN CHATTY’S VERSION!?

​
​

“Cause the seller wants to price it this way”

LOL

No salesmanship!

Now…

… does my Mac have these documents?

YES!

AND THIS IS A REAL SALES PAGE WHERE I AM OFFERING IT TO YOU FOR A MEASLY $300,000!

​
​

(That you can pay off just 90 days with 3 easy payments of $100,000 each)

But if you don’t have the kind of cashola on you (or simply don’t dare to dabble in rare Macintoshes)

Then I dare say you invest in YOURSELF with the greatest skillset known that man (that Chatty seems to lack a ton in!)

SALESMANSHIP!

And I’m making it SO EASY for you.

​Here’s a 2-Hour Copywriting Masterclass that I created just for you. ​

nd it’s completely free.
​

This training was going to be a course that I sold for $100 but decided to put out some good karma into the world.

You’re welcome and happy selling!

Your friend,
