I'm selling it to get a G4 tower so I can install SoundBlaster Live!, which is the only way to take advantage of my Monsoon MM2000 4-satellite speakers!

Specs:

* PowerPC G3 500MHz
* 640MB SO-DIMM (128 + one 2" 512MB module)
* 20 GB Hard Drive
* ATI Rage Mobility 128 with 8 MB SGRAM (supports monitor-spanning that the new iBook does not!)
* 56K V.90 Modem
* Build-in AirPort antennas: 2.4 GHz; 11 Mbps (gets burst speed of 700kbytes/s in my home switched LAN with a Compaq PC).

Original Box Includes:

* "Yoyo" AC Adapter
* Composite-to-S-video adapter
* Macintosh monitor adapter
* Expansion bay weight-saving module
* One lithium-ion battery: 5 hours advertised, 2.5 hours in real-world use with all energy saving features OFF.

Built-In Features:

* Dual USB Ports (independent USB buses, 2x12Mbit = 24Mbit bandwidth)
* Dual Fire Wire Ports (again, independent Firewire buses)
* 56K V.90 Internal Modem
* 10/100 Base-T Ethernet
* 4Mbit IrDA Infrared
* CD/DVD Drive Speed: 24x/6x respectively
* One Type II CardBus Slot

Software CDs Included:

* Apple Hardware Test
* PowerBook Software Install
* PowerBook Software Restore
* AirPort Software Installation

Extras:

* AirPort Card (bought for $99 from Apple)
* Bootable AppleCare CD with TechTool Deluxe (from a friend who got two of them from Apple).

Warranty:

* Limited 1-yr Apple warranty until September, 2001. Buyer can purchase two
more years of AppleCare Protection Plan
any time before the 1-yr warranty expires
(Outpost $299, Apple $349, look it up on
shopper.com for best deal on AppleCare.)

Asking $2149 + actual shipping.
Make your offer to: polaris@spam.guard.iname.com (take out the 'spam.guard.').

PS: I had OS X installed but erased it because I think the usability is poor compared to 9.1. (I'm addicted to control strips =D) I can put it (updated to 10.0.3) back on if desired. The darn thing took over 20mins to install alone.

Aight, price cut:
$1950+FedEx shipping (choice of Overnight/Express/Ground/etc.)

$1900+actual shipping... last chance before it goes on ebay

Part of the reason you haven't gotten contacts yet may be your lack of information in your profile - there's no e-mail address, contact info, location, nothing, in the profile. Web selling is a very touchy subject, and most people will not buy something unless they're very, very sure of the seller.

I myself would be interested in buying it, but would want to at least see a picture first... tried buying a Pismo awhile back but was sorta screwed over...

I am interested.

Thanks, funkboy. Advice taken.

Can I email you offline?

I don't have a digital camera or a scanner.
I can borrow one but that'll take a few days.

Just edited the original post, answering one of the frequently asked questions:
- This 'book is still under limited 1-yr Apple warranty until September, 2001. Buyer can purchase two more years of AppleCare Protection Plan any time before the 1-yr warranty expires (Outpost $299, Apple $349, look it up on shopper.com for the best deal on AppleCare.)

C'mon folks, I really don't want to put it on ebay! Do a search on Completed Items and see for yourself what a great deal this is!

I set myself a deadline of 6pm Sunday before I put it on ebay.
