I will soon be selling my Pismo. It has served me faithfully and problem-free for over three years, and I have taken good care of it. Specs:
400 MHz G3 processor w/ 1 MB L2 cache (stock)
100 MHz system bus
1/2 GB RAM, upgradeable to 1 GB
40 GB 5400 RPM HD (IBM 40GNX - great drive!!)
DVD-ROM drive
RAGE Mobility 128 w/ 8 MB VRAM
AirPort card installed
14.1" XGA screen, no dead pixels
USB and FireWire
100BT ethernet and 56K modem
The Pismo was really the first PowerBook of the modern generation. It has the same motherboard architecture as the earlier PowerBook G4 titaniums, and is regareded by enthusiasts as one of the best PowerBooks ever made. It's really a killer machine, and will run OS X great (although I don't have it installed). There are two processor upgrades available from PowerLogix, a 500 MHz G4 and a 900 MHz G3, for around $300 each, which will put it on par with much more recent machines and turn it into an OS X monster.
The computer is in great shape. It's traveled very little and has no major problems. It has signs of use - lid has a little bit of freeplay, but the bearings still hold well. Screen has two little marks on it, but as I mentioned no dead pixels. That and a few barely visible scuffs in a few spots.
I am asking $850, which is honestly a great deal considering I paid $2500 for it and put at least another $500 into it in upgrades. Unfortunately I won't be able to part with it for several weeks, but I'll make this deal to anyone interested: agree to buy it now, and I'll lower the price to $800. Pay $400 now, and then another $400 before I ship it.
Everyone on MacNN should know this is not a scam. I've been around here for over two years, and I am trustworthy. Email me at cdd25 AT cornell DOT edu if interested. I'll pay for shipping to anywhere in the continental US. I'm willing to negotiate shipping charges if you live elsewhere. All proceedes go to benefit the Feed a Starving College Student Fund.

850 does seem like alot when you could buy a new iBook for just a couple hundred more, plus the prices on referb. 12" PB are prob driving the price down too, ive seen some steals for like 1099 for the 867mhz
just my .02 though
good luck

Hmm...
750. Half now, half when I ship it. That's a reasonable price.
