I was thinking my 1.5ghz 15inch powerbook superdrive 80gb albook plus an ipod 4g colour 20gb.
To rasie funds for a new macbook as i need to use windows software for school.
What kind of offers do u think i'll get? (canadian dollars powerbooks in perfect shape never dropped no dents everything works as how i got it new....there is some wear to the paint however under the spacebar and down key as well as where my left palm rests ipod has some scratches i'll probably buff them out before selling)

my guess would be around 1200 give or take since the macbooks are available
as refurbs. i just did the same thing with my 15". It ships out toinght, and I am missing
having a laptop.

I'd put it on eBay and advertise it as a Graphics workstation, especially for anyone who's using Photoshop and stuff. You might get higher bids on it. The PowerPC based Macs are still somewhat in demand because of Adobe's announcement.
1.5Ghz PowerBook with the fixens, I'd wager $1200 to $1500 CAN. If you do buy a new MacBook, buy it at the US store. The US dollar is only $1.16 CAN right now, it's a good deal. You'll save about 30 cents on the dollar.

I just sold a three year old Ti 15" Powerbook 867 with 768 memory on eBay for $1020. It was in outstanding condition.

Did you have a reserve set and if so how much?
I only ask because I am going to sell my 1GHz Ti on eBay.

Craigslist.org is safer since you can deal local only!

Craigslist.org is awesome, but it doesn't reach as many people as eBay.

Agreed. I've always had good luck with Craigslist. Plus, you don't have to deal with eBay and Paypal fees.
