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,
