Grrr! I am on a quest to get a MacBook, and all I need is 400 dollars more. So what I have tried to do is sell my custom pc that I built myself on ebay, specs are as followed:

2.0ghz Athlon 3000+ CPU
MSI mobo
160gb western digital hard drive (brand new)
1270mb of RAM by Crucial
52x32CD_R/RW
8x Sony DVD+/-RW
Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 sound card
10/100mbps eithernet
32mb graphics processer

The highest bid I got on ebay was 300, but I'm asking 400, and I won't sell cheaper. So I'm wondering if anyone knows any other places online to try and sell it other then ebay? I would get a job, but I'm 15 and the school year is just starting and I have an extra computer class in the evening so I just wouldn't have time for it, so that's out of the question. This will be my very first mac and I LOVE macs and it's killing me that I have to wait this long, so if you know of any places to sell please let me know, thanks.

In the Los Angeles area, we have recycler.com and craigslist.com

Windows has it's place; the newer duo notebooks rock (and don't moo)

They (both OS's) have their virtues and neither are without idiosyncrasies. Being honest and have to use both daily, but you know my fave already.

Your SIG is breaking the MacNN rules, specifically size. If everyone had hugh garish sigs MacNN would look about as retarded as many other forums.

Bag groceries at Kroger, develop some grudges, save the money you need, buy MacBook, quit Kroger in a blaze of glory, enjoy MacBook.

I'm looking for buyers for my Black Macbook with 2.0GB of RAM and OEM 80GB drive. My sell price is $1300. It ships with all the original packaging and I'm throwing in an iCurve stand for free. If that helps your situation any, then send me a PM.
