I was waiting about two weeks until I got enough money saved up to buy an external isight for my 12" powerbook. But, as my luck would have it, a week before I was going to have the money to purchase one, Apple decided to take them off the shelves. I was looking on ebay but everyone on ebay jacked up the price due to the unavailability of the external isight from apple. If someone has or is willing to sell a new or really close to new (cosmetically and functionally) isight I am looking to purchase for $150 to $200. I realize you could probably get more on ebay but I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me out. Thanks so much in advance for comments or offers. PM me if you have anything. Thanks!

I have one I'm trying to offload. Its in excellent condition. No blemishes or scratches on it.

I need to check to make sure I have all the mounts for it (I have them somewhere I'm sure). The iSight was rarely used and always kept in its case. I have a macbook now so I no longer need it.

how much are you wanting for it. so it looks pretty much brand new. as long as it has the powerbook mount it would be okay. I'm looking to spend a max of $200 as I am in college and money is scarce. lol. Thanks.

I would let it go for 200 shipped in the US with everything i have for it. The case, the mounts, the cable, and of course the iSight itself.

I've got one picture for you.

It was not heavily used, and I'm on a Macbook Pro now.

it looks like it is in really good condition. it doesn't have any dings or dents does it. It looks like everything is perfect. Also is this the final revision of the iSight or did Apple not revise it any. Thanks!

I know there is a rev b, and I think mine is a rev b. The rev b just had different stands.

I bought it from the Apple Store at Apple headquarters a little under two years ago, so I'm assuming it was the most current model at the time.
