- MacWorld Canada: "Blue Book" For Used Macs 09/17/92
- TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, 1992 SEP 17 (NB) -- Wondering what your old
- Macintosh is worth? The answer -- or at least the answer according to one
- Toronto used computer broker -- is in the RYC Blue Book. Recycle Your
- Computer, a Toronto used-computer dealer that specializes in the Macintosh
- line, has launched the blue book as a source of current price information on
- Macintosh models. At present the book only covers the Mac line, but a
- spokesman at RYC's booth at MacWorld Exposition Canada said the company is
- considering expanding the reference to include machines based on Intel and
- compatible chips. The blue book is available only to authorized dealers and
- used-computer brokers, the spokesman said. RYC said it promises to pay the
- prices listed in the blue book to any authorized retailer, dealer, value-added
- resellers, or leasing company. Recycle Your Computer is publishing updates to
- the book -- a slim, pocket-sized pamphlet -- twice a month. Sample prices
- include C$700 for a used Macintosh Classic II with four megabytes (MB) of
- memory and a 40MB hard drive, and C$2,300 for a Mac II fx with two MB of
- memory and an 80MB drive. (Grant Buckler/19920916/Press Contact: Elisse Fulop,
