So -- what would you pay for a Performa 6360? And I think I still have the box, but I wouldn't swear to it. I might have just shipped my printer back to Epson in it.

Oh it works. I had it up in my girls' bedroom, but they never used it, b/c it's not connected to the Internet and it is pretty old (1997). I'll check the specs later. I know I upgraded the modem. Seems to me it might be 180 MZ -- does that sound right, for a 1997 mac? And a VERY small hard drive. Let's face it, it was a long time ago.

also interested in unwanted boxes that macs came in.
If you would be willing to drive to Georgia, I can GIVE you tons of old Macs. I have 6 - 6500's, dozens of 7500's, several dismembered iMacs, several dozen old Apple laptops - all pre-powerpc, several of the educational g3 all-in-one macs (pre-cursor to the iMac, but they have PCI slots). I will not ship any of this old stuff, but I will give it away.

I have 6 purple iMacs, rev D I think. 333mhz, 32mb ram, tray loading CD, varying HD sizes. Just the computers only, no keyboards or mice. They're tested and working. I'd like to keep one of them, so are you interested in the others?

Edit: A coworker has 6 more iMacs identical to mine, and wants to part with his, too. If you're interested, I'll let him know.

Hi Doucy2,

I'm about to sell my G3 server since getting a G5. It is a B&W 350/192 with a 13GB HD and DVD optical drive. Runs perfect and has never given me the first issue. I also have an Adaptec 2906 SCSI card that I had in it for a while but I've pulled it out since. What would you think any and all of this would be worth?

Hey, I'm fairly close to you (Columbus, OH) and have a beige G3 tower sitting here that needs a good home. It's a 266 or 300mhz model with 64mb ram, 4GB HD, CD, floppy good condition with no cracks or breakage. I even have the keyboard and mouse for you. Let me know if you could use it.

It currently has 9.2 installed - but no disks or add'l software included. If you want to come pick it up I'll take $30 for it. I would rather see it put to good use than sitting here collecting dust.

Let me know...

Also: any interest in a Personal Laser Writer, circa 1990 or '91? I have that, too. I doubt if I still have that box, though -- I'm not sure I ever had it.

If you get any old beat up iMac keyboards, see my FF below about keyboard parts. I'll give you what you need, but I don't want to give away the whole thing to just one person. You can get brand new keyboards on eBay for $11.00, so I want to hold on to this broken one and spread the love around to as many people as need it.

I have a mint iBook G4 12" box from an 800MHz iBook G4, and the keyboard for said iBook.

What are they worth to you?


Edit: If you're interested, please try to make a Snappyâ„¢ reply since I'm moving on Friday.

I also have a fully working PBG3 Lombard (333MHz) and iMac G3 SE (700MHz, Graphite) that I'm going to put on the bay. 10.3 on the Lombard, 10.4 on the iMac. Lombard ships with original box + notebook bag. The iMac ships with a Pro Keyboard (Black) and Pro Mouse (White). Looking for $250ish for the lombard, $450ish for the iMac (both prices very attainable on eBay).

How's about an iBook G3 800 with 384MB RAM and Airport installed? I must tell you that the LogicBoard fried, but the serial number lands it in the "Logicboard Repair Program."

I have a PowerBook 3400C 180MHz with 48MB of RAM and a 1.3GB hard drive. I have the floppy and the CD-ROM modules for it and both are functional. The screen is in awesome shape, the battery was replaced a couple years ago and still keeps a charge for ~1.5 hours, the keyboard track pad functions, but the button for the track pad is broken. The little connector is there so you can still click the mouse but the button itself is missing. I've been using it with a 2-button "PowerMouse" (ADB) and it works perfectly. I've also got the AC adaptor, too, the 45W one that's also compatible with PowerBooks up to the Pismo. It's got OS8 on it and I have an authentic OS8 CD for it.
