***Thread updated***

I'm selling my G4 Powerbook. It's the last revision of the powerbook line by apple. I've upgraded the RAM to 1.5 GB. It's in pristine condition - no scratches, dents, dings, scuffs, dead pixels, etc. I have all the original packaging as well. As the title says, it's only 8 mo. old so you still have about 5 months of warranty through apple and the option to buy applecare.

I'm asking $1225/shipped. Non-CC paypal or M.O. This includes the extra 1GB stick of DDR2 ram I bought for it. I've sold alot of items (including laptops) on the forums and you can check out my heatware (user id: bradbowl) to see this.

I have some pics. I can send to serious buyers. Thanks for looking! Here's the detailed specs:

I would have jumped on this a week ago -- but I already bought my powerbook, same specs for $1320 shipped off ebay. I got lucky then. I guess MacBook frenzy has most buyers.

I think ebay is definitely worth a shot. Even if you put it at 1450$ buy it now to recover the ebay fees, you should be okay as long as you have a really good description and pictures.

Hell, I'm tempted to buy it since it'd flawless and my new powerbook has one red stuck pixel that a tiny, glaring irritation to me. I'd keep yours and sell mine -- but alas, I don't have another $1300 to play with.

good luck. it really is a great price, considering refurbs are going for $1500-1600 in the store.

I've had some bad luck with buyers backing out of deals and I've been busy with work so needless to say this is back up for sale.

Everything is still in excellent condition with original box/accessories/etc.

The new price is $1225 including shipping.
