Hi.

I'm thinking about possibly scoring a new Powerbook, so I wanted to see what I could fetch for this Pismo that I currently own. It is a pleasure to use under Panther, so I might keep it, but I know there are a lot of Pismo fans out there, so I thought I'd check to see what it could fetch.

Here are the specs:
500MHz PowerPC G3 Processor
1MB Level 2 cache
100 MHz bus
768 MB RAM (expandable to 1GB)
Brand new 40GB Hitachi TravelStar HD (nearly silent)
ATI Rage 8MB VRAM
New VST DVD/CD module
Airport Card installed
14.1" display

The new HD is brand spanking new (installed over the weekend) and combined with Panther it really makes this baby purr.

So, what do you think I could get for this thing?

Id say if the condition is as good as the specs, you could expect $500 minimum and more than likely over $700 with shipping.
