I purchased this Powerbook around December. I have used it literally 4 times (to Browse the internet).

The reason I am selling it is because i cannot make tuition for this semester and the next. And i need money BAD!!!!!

why can't i make tuition...? a little debacle called Enron really screwed my parents. Couldn't get student loans this semester. And the loss of my job really put me over the end. Bad things always comes in 3's

Specs...PB 550, DVD, 256ram. Price... $2500.
Comes with all it's boxes and manuals. I'll even throw in my Plam M100..Hell i'll even pay shipping!!
No dead pixals.

Anyone that has ever been in my situation knows it really sucks. And how badly you need money. Actually it wasn't my idea to sell the PB, it was mainly my parents (they purchased it for me).

The reason i bought the computer was for graphics and the need to have portability since i commute to school.

Remeber this computer is brand spankin' new... no scratches, no dents, no dings.

PLease Help!!

Sorry to hear this. Wish I could buy it from you just to help you out. If I were you I'd lower the price, you can buy a very new iBook for the same price.
New sig coming soon. Yes, it will violate the sig guidelines :p

The awful thing about the internet and the way buying and selling work here is that there is no way to get your original amount of money you spent back. There are just too many "Hot Deals" and price matchers out there that offer new merchandise and warranties. I have no doubt that your Ti-Book is in great condition but you'll never get the price you're asking. Maybe try eBay. I offloaded an iBook there first of January for about $400 more than I paid for it. Best of luck...
Yeah, about those TPS reports, didn't you get the memo?
