Hello every one,
Just to introdice my selkf im Zach from Cleveland, Ohio. I have and ebay account and Howardforums account as well. I ship once payment is recieved! I will accept paypal only. my email address is zhmorrow13@sbcglobal.net

This iBook was bought off ebay from a guy in California he wassnt very honest so then i was scrwed b/c paypal didnt get my money back!!! A couple days after the back light went out, you can still see it if you hold a light up to it. There is Mac OS X 10.4.7 running on it. There is a 20GB hard drive on it and installed. The main part that is screwed up it the bottom casing. There was a stripped torx screw b/c the guy i bought it from opened it up way to many times. I tired everything to get it off, everything! So i can to the conclusion that it was to be sawed off. I did get it opened (i was opening it to see if there was anything that was loose on it, like a cable, something that was causing the backlight not to turn on.). Once i finally got it off, i found there was nothing that came undone or what ever, it all looked good!!! So now im pissed off, i just want to get rid of it im gunna sell it, the airport is in working condition and set to go add $25 as a packaged deal!!! i just want to get rid of it. ALL CDS INCLUDED IBOOK RESTORE AND MAC OS X AND MORE

there are programs on it like Office, photoshop, and stuff like that!!

Im look for an offer, bought it for 340 shipped UPS. Give me anything and we could try to see if it works. I could also trade, i dont know what but you could figure it out!!! Send me any offer!!! I dont care, i just want this out of my house!!!

***WORKS FINE***JUST POOR CONDITION***BATTERY HOLS A LONG CHARGE***ALL CDS**

please email me...im desperate to get rid of this item!!!

this guy sounds fishy, i just spoke to him on AIM and he refused to produce pics with his name on them and he cant produce pics with the iBook powered on and working.. Also hes only 15 years old, He said paypal only, how can a 15 year old have paypal, last I knew you had to be 18 to use that or ebay. So heres the heads up on him before someone gets burned..
he goes by the AIM name morr1991, and he says he has an ebay account, problem being is you have to be 18 to have eBay.... Steer clear of this one if I were you

Yeah, I was actually suspicious just based on the way he speaks/types. I don't tend to do business with people that can't type a legible sentence... I associate that too much with scammers (of the nigerian type, haha). Usually means they're 1) Not from here, or 2) too young to be doing business on the internet.. either way.

i relize i dont have alot of posts. that doesnt make a difference. we all have to startout somewhere. if i am 15 so what, half the people on the forums are 15-18, i wouldnt be worried about any thing. "BrokecollegestudentF04" lied and said that i didnt want to post any picutures with my name on it, not ture. I dont have a problem with it at all, did she tell you that i sent her one with my name on it...no! "BrokecollegestudentF04" thought that I had a ebay and a paypal account...not true at all. I am allowed to use a family members account if he/she is over the age of 18. As for, xfiftyfour. Okay ill admit im not the greatest typer in the world, mostly because I rush. Acutually im not Nigerian...not even close. Race shouldnt make a difference on these forums. You can only tell by a name, what race a person is. There is no required age that you must be in order to use these forums!!!
Thats the beauty of it, none of you need to know my age and if you did, why would you care or better yet why would it matter? So please underestand that im not a scammer. I dont know where you are going to find a picture of a ibook with a hole on the bottom of it! Dont worry about anything, like i said i have sold items on a family members account before. I ship very promtly, use fast services and respond to all questions. *I do realize that I didnt type very great up above i was tired and rushing, I did type this one better, please PM with if you have a comment, problem, or a concern*

xfiftyfour · Oct 26, 2006, 06:21 AM

I never said there were required ages, I just CHOOSE not to do business with people that are too young to really grasp legalities and the responsibility of doing business online, that's all. If I DO do business with someone under 18, then it's only if they've already proven themself in other transactions as trustworthy, and have plenty of references to back 'em up.

zachmorrow · Oct 26, 2006, 06:32 AM

I totally respect that. I understand, i would be the same way. It is your call wether or not you want to do business with me or not. I respect that 100%!!! have a nice day!

zachmorrow · Oct 26, 2006, 07:11 AM

here is proof!

You might be able to see but that is the Mac OS X "About this computer" windows, like i said the back light it shot! so it is hard to see, you cann only see the outline!!!

zachmorrow · Oct 26, 2006, 07:13 AM

im also willing to sell the airport card separely! it is on ebay, i want like 65 shipped for it! im will use prority mail!!!

zachmorrow · Oct 28, 2006, 03:01 PM

zachmorrow · Oct 28, 2006, 06:52 PM

no longer selling!

brokecollegestudentF04 · Oct 28, 2006, 07:01 PM

reason he is no longer selling is because we had a deal and he chickened out

I was packing up everything, next thing i knew...it was on the ground literally in pieces, i dont feel good trading this, regardless of wut you say. So im just going to recycle it. Sorry!!!! i feel really bad, but as i said above i dont feel confortable trading this ibook in this condition. Terrible sorry!!! p.s: i was kinda looking forward to that dell also, but i guess that is what happens! good bye!

It just magically happened to fall apart after we had a deal
