Hi,
I think this could be an interesting thread on what deals people have gotten on apple products.
I have never cared for spending so much on brand new machines because of how they depreciate so much so quickly, so used machines have satisfied my needs. And all of the ones that I have had have worked perfectly and looked great. People just take care of their apple machines, i guess!
Here are some of my best deals that I am proud of:
CURRENT MACHINES:
g5 dual 2.0
3gb Memory
2x 160gb Hard Drive
128 mb Video card
Airport Extreme
$800 (I bought it for $900, but sold my single 1.8 g5 for $1000 after taking out 2gb memory and 160gb Hard Drive).
Pismo g3 500mhz
1gb Memory
80gb 5400Hard Drive
7 hour total battery life
Airport Card
Like New Condition
$200 original, $350 after upgrades
Titanium G4 400mhz
1gb memory
60gb Hard Drive
4 hour battery life
Combo Drive
Airport Card
Like new condition, runs cool, and airport range is just as good as pismo. I think it is a mutant titanium! I actually love using this titanium one, it is so much better than any other titanium that i have had, and i had almost every revision. Swapped the hard drive with the pismo so it has the 80gb 5400 drive. Nice boost!!
$400
I've had several others during the past year, but eventually sold them and made some profit in doing so.
Let me know about yours!!

Do you collect school busses? That would be an interesting hobby.

Are the student discounts considered great deals...? Then I've got a ton to brag about...

hmmm....don't know if I can beat the school bus deal. But I traded an old 15" LCD screen for a 15" Powerbook. Not too shabby in my opinion, considering I still have a 20" Dell LCD...

Getting a refurbished one-year-old 1.5 GHz 15" Powerbook - Airport, Superdrive, 80GB HD, backlit keyboard, 128MB VRAM - from AppleCare, as a replacement for my two-year-old Rev. A 867 MHz 12" Powerbook - Airport, Superdrive, 60GB HD - which was a complete lemon (EVERYTHING that can possibly break, did).
Took me four months of fighting and an e-mail to the iCEO, but Apple came through for me.
Sensational.

In 1997, I bought 320 Apple IIEs for $700 at an auction. Sold them for a nice profit!
