I would like to set up a lab in my classroom. I think some older iBooks might be just right. Anyone have a lead on where I might get 10 to 15 of them for a good price? They don't have to be perfect, just working.
Small number of them needed as I'm a special education teacher with no more than 15 students in my room, (high school) at one time.

apple has some kind of bulk pricing, dont know if its available to anyone but educations though

I did look into their lab bundles, but they're a bit high priced since they're only offering the new laptops. I was hoping to get some G3 ibooks, not the G4s.

Most of the Apple laptops are older, but try www.liquidation.com

That was a good lead, I'll have to keep checking back at that site.
Thanks!

Also check out Smalldog they have lots of older iBooks (and will probably give you a good deal on bulk.)

SmallDog is looking promising. Thank you for the link.

This site has volume pricing:

They have older computers as well. Not sure if they have what you are looking for but they do have an 1-800 number to call.

That was a great link too. I'm sure finding out that Macs hold their value!

Watch out for macofalltrades.com...some folks here have had very negative experiences. The search engine is down again, so I can't post a link to the thread, but it was in the PowerMac forum.
