Hey everyone,

Offering my like-new condition 17" PB since moving to a 15". I am an independent Apple consultant located here in central Florida and decided on the smaller size for portability as I mainly work at my clients' sites. Absolutely love the 17" screen, but personally prefer the smaller size for manageability and sometimes small working areas I am afforded at my work locations.

Anyway, specs are 17"/1GHz G4/512 MB/60GB/Airport Extreme/Bluetooth. Also SuperDrive and backlit keyboard. Perfect screen with no dead/stuck pixels checked with Screen Query. Cosmetically excellent and clean, scratch and dent/ding free. No unusual keyboard wear as I used an external keyboard and mouse when in the office. Comes in original box with original power adapter, accessories, disk, etc. Additional items that go along with this machine include a Targus Miami carry case in almost new condition and a Kensington Elite 5-button USB mouse also almost brand new.

$1,750 + shipping (+ PayPal fees if payment is via PayPal) for the entire package and PayPal is also welcome as I am a longtime Verified user. The PB will be shipped the next business day following payment receipt and confirmation.

Again, this package has been professionally used and cared for in unusually high standards. You will not be disappointed in the condition and quality of this PowerBook. I have 6 years of eBay feedback if you would like references, user ID jagdaytona. The photo gallery will be posted later today on my .Mac site and anyone interested is welcome to phone or e-mail for more info.

Thank you for looking and please let me know if you have any questions.$1,750

Bump for new lower price.

lvpartygirl · Apr 20, 2005, 07:26 AM

I would be interested.... if we could discuss price. I just started a new company (want to be maximizing $$$) and could get one new on macmall.com. Please let me know if you would be willing to work with me on price. I am also looking for more than one (12-15" screen ibook/pbook if you know of anyone selling).

Sometimes I feel this way

I just started my own business and am looking to purchase an iBook/Pbook ASAP. I would like to get a 12" or 15" screen with a superdrive. Would be extremely interested in a new or just opened purchase. Any software for sale that could be useful... (Quicken/Quickbooks/small business software bundles, etc.) would be wonderful. Would like to purchase immediately and saving any $$$ when getting started is a bonus! Thanks!

Hi lvpartygirl,

I have already dropped the price $100 from it's original price. If you'd like to make an offer I'd be glad to consider it. I have been contacted by several interested parties already amd may be wrapping this up today so please let me know.

TerryJ · Apr 22, 2005, 07:52 PM

Hey everybody,

One last bump before eBay...anybody serious out there???

lvpartygirl · Apr 25, 2005, 06:49 AM

Thanks for the offer, but I was able to find one closer to the price I could afford. Sorry for not being able to to meet your offer. I appreciate you getting back to me though.

TerryJ · Apr 26, 2005, 08:15 AM

Still available...lots of e-mail but nobody has stepped up yet. Throw me your offers and let's see who wins!

TerryJ · May 8, 2005, 11:02 AM

Ok everybody. Due to a rash of interested parties committing, then not following through with the purchase or making ridiculously low offers on this machine both here and on eBay, I am once again posting it for sale. If you have any questions or need any information just let me know. You are not going to find a similar machine in nicer condition and having the pedigreed ownership background ensuring it was used in the easiest, most well kept environment.

I'll drop the price down to $1675 + shipping. Local central Florida pickup is also possible as I work throughout the Orlando/Daytona area weekly.

If you're seriously looking for an incredibly nice 17" PB, then let me know, but if you're just a 'tire-kicker', please look elsewhere...I've dealt with plenty of those already.
