Title: NeXT mouse
Post by: retsteel on Mon, 26 March 2012, 16:58:11

Hi everyone, long time lurker [almost]first time poster. I have been sitting on this mouse (not literally) for a while and I have no clue if it is worth anything, I picked it up at the recycling center of the local university for next to nothing so if its not I will keep it for the uniqueness(I think). Basically what I was wondering is if you could tell me anything about it and how much it could be worth aaaand... where I should sell it if it has any value.

They're not super common but they're not super useful, either. It's a Cool Thing To Have.

Ripster might want one to go with his NeXT keyboard.

cool, I knew that much, its really a horrible design for functionality and I don't think I have anything to plug it into... but still, it has to be worth something?

I think that Ripster got a whole computer and burned everything but the key caps. Not a good home for a NeXT mouse. ;-)

Considering how few of them were actually made, that was a f—ing crime.

Considering the materials used to make that computer, that was probably literally a crime.

Quick, somebody call the police. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0359hSerDeE)

sooo nothing on the value? I didn't figure anyone knew anything useful here anyways... (yes that was meant to inspire someone to prove me wrong.)
