Hey everyone.

I have run into some major financial issues and I must sell my powerbook. It's one of the things I hate to let go, but it's a must. I need to get rid of it fast!

There is nothing wrong with it performance wise, it runs CS3 suite perfectly fine, and it also blazes through leopard.

The specs are.

Powerbook G4 12''
1.5ghz g4
512 ram
80 gig hdd
Superdrive
Bluetooth 2.0edr and Airport ex
Battery gets 4 hours of life.

It's this same machine - Apple PowerBook G4 1.5 12" (Al) Specs (12-Inch - 1.5 GHz - M9690LL/A*) @ EveryMac.com

It would come with the power adapter with extension cable, OS X disks 10.4 for powerbook g4's.

Cosmetically it's in great shape, there is a little ding by the power connector, and the palmrest has little spots that's normal for some of these, the metal gets dirty from your sweat. It's purely in the coating and not any flaw of the laptops performance what so ever. It's been seen on the MBP's as well.


As for the price, I'll start at 700 shipped to your door. Price is negotiable.

Thanks!

I might consider a small trade in an old pc laptop if it's super cheap, I still need mobile connectivity, so if you have an old ultra portable or something else laying around that you could include that'd be awesome, of course we could balance pricing out.

Here are a couple pictures. The last photo is from September, the powerbook is the exact same.

Hi ghostshadow, is it still up for grabs? I'd love to see if I can beat that offer?

Still for sale. The deal fell through, the person that was going to purchase ran into some financial snags and cannot purchase the Powerbook. So, back on the market it goes.

That's a high price, but I will say that my 12" PB G4 is the toughest Mac I've ever had.

It's 100% negotiable, I didn't really know where to start it out at. I've received a few offers in the same area and I've seen others go for more, so I figured 700 shipped and insured + a brand new mighty mouse to your door was a good start point.

Hello,

I am in the same situation with pretty much the same computer, however I have 1GB Ram; when I bought it, I maxed out everthing I could - ram, hard drive, and processor. I have taken extremely great care of this computer and there is only one discrepency: a small glitch on the bottom right corner of the screen which is barely noticable (caused by a bit of water getting onto the screen). Other than that, it is in GREAT condition. Email me at [email protected] if you are interested.

JoshuaMLynn,

You're hijacking someone else's thread AND you state no price. Both conditions violate forum policy.

Start your own thread WITH price.

Once you have your own thread, good luck with your sale

No kidding.
If you have something to sell........Sell it but why would anyone look into a dead old thread for someone elses computer?
