I'm still sitting on three laptops that I really, really want to get rid of.

Asus eeePC 701 4G - $240 shipped
This is the original pearl white model. Comes with 512MB RAM, 4GB SSD, 7.5" WSVGA (800x480) display, 8GB SDHC card for additional storage, power adapter, original box and materials, and neoprene sleeve. It's in fantastic condition. I have no idea where I put the restore DVD for it, so if you buy, I'll mail that out whenever I find it. It's a good little computer and would be great for a kid, or even just if you travel a lot and don't want to haul out a big laptop every time you have some downtime.

Tangerine iBook G3 - $100 shipped
Your run-of-the-mill tangerine iBook. I'm pretty sure there's a 256MB DIMM in there. 6GB HDD. Screen is in good condition. No major case defects, although the Apple logo needs to be glued back onto the back of the display (I'd do it, but I can't find any glue at the moment). CD-ROM is janky - you have to jimmy it open with a paper clip. PMU is also janky - it has to be reset to boot the machine. Just hit the reset button and boot. No idea why. Panther is installed.

500MHz white 12" iBook G3 - $325 shipped
Excellent condition. 500MHz, 650MB RAM, CD-ROM, MacAlly power adapter, 20GB HDD, Airport, all original boxes, packaging, manuals, and restore discs. Only thing wrong with it is that the little feet on the bottom are missing. I have two of them and the third one won't stay in. Newer (non-OEM) battery gets about six hours with brightness down. Has Tiger installed. One stuck (red) pixel on the LCD, but no scratches or anything on the display.

Other items of note:
Orange 2G (1GB) iPod Shuffle - $50
Shuffle, dock, two Inicpio Bud adapters, set of four slide-on aluminum cases in different colors (blue, pink, green, red), and two pairs of Arriva active iPod shuffle earphones. I also have one of these somewhere, which I'll include if I can find it. The shuffle is in perfect condition. However, I have like six MP3 players, so I never ever use it.

300MHz iBook G3 motherboard inside blueberry bottom - $40 shipped.
Last time I tested it, it worked fine. Has a 3GB HDD with OS 8.6 installed.

Impeccable 12" iBook G3/G4 LCD - $50 shipped.
In snow plastics; inverter, LVDS, and airport cables attached.

Big box o' iBook parts - $150 shipped.
I have a huge quantity of iBook components, mostly for 12" G3 models - keyboards, trackpad assemblies, display plastics, bottom plastics, EMI shields, metal frames, modems, DC in-boards, etc. I was going to list all these separately on eBay to get some extra money out of them, but I'm sick of having this stuff around, and I just want to get rid of it. If you're in the business of fixing or rehabbing iBooks, this will probably be useful to you. There's at least $400 worth of iBook components here.

Prices are flexible. Make me an offer, and we can go from there. Shipping will be from 47901 via FedEx for US buyers. PayPal only, please. I'll ship internationally, but you'll be responsible for extra shipping costs, and I'll ship via USPS unless you really want to pay FedEx's overinflated international rates.

I'll post pics of any of this stuff on request.

Really, it's in good condition - it just needs a new CD-ROM (you could even upgrade it to a combo drive for about $15), and the motherboard probably needs to be replaced. I'd do it myself, but I'm just damn tired of messing with these stupid iBooks.

If you feel like a project, you could take the clamshell and the other motherboard...
