Does anyone know where to find a reasonably priced TiBook (867 or 1ghz)? Any resellers have any left over for a decent price?

Thanks,
DJ

Probably depends on what country you're in and what you consider to be a reasonable price.

hi,

ebay would be the obvious place to check first. check completed auctions for the models you want and see what the market value is. but unfortunately ebay is more a sellers than buyers market for powerbooks, and they tend to fetch top dollar there. also be sure to check the feedback of the seller and contact them to discuss if they will guarantee the PB will work as stated. pay with Paypal and a credit card if possible (so you have some protection there as well) and dont neglect shipping insurance.

you could also try the classified section at powerbookcentral, where you might get a better price but dont have much in the way of protection against unscrupuslous sellers:

also check the marketplace forum here at macnn (with the same caveats)

btw, if you can stretch your budget a bit more, you might consider a refurb iBook or Al-book. the ti-books have not been known for their reliability--with bad hinge design, peeling paint, general fragility and high repair costs to boot.

refurb deals on later models are noted here:

hi,

i forgot to mention the Roadwarrior column (by Charles Moore) at Macopinion. you might find his review of current and prior apple laptop models helpful:

i know some of his columns have mentioned resellers selling new unsold stock on older models, but i cant remember which. you could send him email and ask.

best wishes,

Also, try the powerbookcentral.com marketplace. Generally a good crowd there. I've had luck, anyway.
