One of the first Macs I bought for personal use was a performa 6360/160. . . then I bought a 6400 tower.

We bought a lot of 20 - Performa 6200s, with monitors, from a Jewish museum who had used them for a three-month exhibition starting in August of 1995 and we bought them in December off eBay. . . one of the very first computer auctions ever held on eBay! In fact, I had driven to eBay's office and picked up my 6360 at their office (it had been one of the employee's computer) just a week or so after they opened for business. LOL! These we had to drive to LA to pickup because they were on a too expensive to ship individually.

We only needed four for our office at the time, but we donated six of them to the charity I had founded. . . and sold the rest to patients. The ten we sold paid for the entire cost of acquiring all of them in the auction.
