Hey all i'm finally switching my main computer from a windows machine to a powermac g4 yay i know it's not a g5 or something cooler but it'll have to do for now. I just won it on ebay and am now needing to sell my windows machine.

This an emachines model: T3524
3.20 ghz Intel Celeron D
448 Ram
ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Graphics (says on the front )
Installed a new ethernet port (cox said my old one was messed up)
CDRW/DVDRW
I will not be including the HD but i believe i have the restore cd and some of the paperwork. I will also include some PC games with it
This has been a good machine for me no real problems, i am moving into a new house and figured why not finally switch. asking 150 plus actual shipping

I'm sorry, I know thread crapping is strongly discouraged, but I wouldn't recommend trying to ship such a computer. It's not worth very much, and shipping will cost something like $40. Given the computer's value, adding $40 to ship it is going to make things tough.

I do want to help you, not just criticize you, so I might suggest going to Craigslist and trying to sell it locally.

LOL, thanks for the bumps guys, now i just need someone to buy this. I have a couple of other people interested on other forms. i have seen machines on ebay go for more than what i'm asking.

Cool, I didn't realize how cheap FedEx was. I remember shipping a Power Mac G4 a couple years ago and it cost me almost $50, but Power Macs are a lot heavier.

Whatever you decide to do, good luck.

No kidding. My approach with CL is to just tell people it's available until it's gone. Don't "hold" the machine for anyone, because it seems like 25-50% of the time they don't show up. Just tell them to call you before they come over to buy it to check if it's still around.
