If everything works that is a really good deal. Unfortunately, I already have two laptops but I think its quite admirable that you aren't trying to milk every red cent from the sale of your used computers. I have been really surprised and scoffed at some of the "for sale" notices put out in this forum.
People are asking quite a bit more for systems that are worth far less than the asking price. What's worse is that the majority of people who even read MacNN are probably smart enough to know that people here are trying to @ss r@pe them on the prices.

So good for you for not being an @sshole. One of you people who were looking to trade should jump all over this sale and suck up the cost of not reselling your current computer.

Thanks, I thought the prices were reasonable. And yes, everything works fine. The SE was running YellowDog Linux 2, but has been reformatted with OS9. As I type this on my powerbook, I've got "The Green Mile" playing on the TV via the iceBook.

Kinda nice having all this hardware, but just kind of silly given I hardly use the other two since I got the powerbook (and I have a PIII desktop dual booting Win98 and SuSe Linux).

Great prices.

The 366 is a real bargain. You can't buy a similar PC laptop for anything less.

Sorry, but no. I'm not looking to trade, I have enough hardware with the powerbook and my PIII. These are strictly for sale.

Cheers

&lt;Bump&gt;

Still looking for a buyer for the dual usb iBook. I've had some offers, but less than my asking. I think my asking price, for the entire package, is far more than fair, so I'm still looking for a buyer.

(a dual usb 600Mhz, with all I'm offering, would be well over $2000.00).

So, anyone....

P.S. no trades please, I'm not interested in any other hardware.

Thanks to everyone who contacted me about these machines. Both machines have been sold, and are winging (well, trucking actually) their way to the buyers. Sorry to those who bid but didn't "win", and I am sure the two buyers will enjoy these machines a lot - I did, but ya' can only use so much hardware

Thanks for the kind words everyone, and it was a pleasure selling through MacNN.

Cheers!
