TiBook or Albook? Selling it to buy anything special? As in, that you might be looking for in trade...any reason for such an awesome price? I'm possibly interested.

It is an Aluminum PowerBook. I'm not really looking to trade, just planning on upgrading to a new 15" PowerBook.

Been trying to e-mail but it says you're not taking e-mails through the board.


Still available? I'll likely take it if so. Photos? PayPal? References?

Thanks!

Yes, to clarify, this does have the SuperDrive.

Also, just to note, "best offer" does include prices above my stated price. I have received one offer for $1600. Best offer stands!

The PowerBook has not yet been sold! I can take photos and will have them available as soon as possible. I also will accept PayPal - the fee will be passed onto the buyer, however.

My eBay user ID is hssoftware, for reference purposes.

Generally when you post a specific/fixed price with the 'or best offer' tag, it means that you will take your posted price or the best closest offer to it, generally below your posted price. Sounds like this is running more like an auction since you are in fact not accepting the price you stated in your listing of $1500, rather one higher. When do you plan on settling in on a buyer/how long are you taking bids? I am ready to buy but if this is going to run a while it would be good to know so we potential bidders/buyers will know to hang in there or look elsewhere.

Also, can you send pics when they are available?

Thanks again!

Right, I understand what you're saying and I apologize deeply for the confusion. It was not my intention to do what is happening here, but of course it is beneficial for me to accept the highest price I can get. I would like to have a deal made by end of Monday at the latest, but I will make the sale earlier if the situation calls for it.

Pictures will come tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the reply! I hope I didn't come off the wrong way, just trying to get a fix on how this was working. I look forward to the pics!

Thank you

If we are doing this like ebay then I'm in for $1602.50. Just so we are clear, where must our bids be forwarded...is it okay to post them here so others know?

Amazing! Yeah, I have pictures from this year, I'm just lazy and haven't posted them yet. Did you go to internationals, or just states?
