Hey everyone,
I'm starting a new college direction this year, and I'm really in need of a beefier machine than my ibook g3. I'd prefer a 1.5 12'' model but I know it's unlikely I could get one for very cheap.
I'm on a major budget, but I am selling a few things to make more money in addition to what I have.
I don't mind finding one with some dents, cracked screen or casing etc. I can repair them, so a broken one is good too.
Things I have to offer for sale is my Wii. I posted it here
I'm also considering letting my ibook go too.
12'' ibook G3
800mhz G3
384 Ram,
40 gig hdd
Airport card, works perfect.
Combo drive reads and plays dvds and burns cd's cdrw's etc.
The battery still gets about 3 and a half hours of run time.
there are normal light scratches on it, nothing that is deep. just surface scratches. from normal wear and tear.
The lid has an iColours - rainbow on the apple logo.
Knox Ware Solutions, Inc. - Ghostknox.com � iColours review read that to see what I'm talking about
Please help me, I'm in dire need.
I'm open to all offers, I would just like to keep in the 1 ghz range and up. G4's only please! Ti books welcome, any screen size is welcome too!
I'm willing to purchase something reasonable.

Hey, I have a PowerBook G4 12". It has been heavily upgraded and is really nice.
Specs are:
867MHz
640MB RAM
Dual Layer SuperDrive
100GB Hard Drive
Airport Extreme
Nvidia Geforce MX 420 GO
I also have made some custom modifications:
Custom feet for enhanced cooling (like a built in Podium Coolpad!)
Rainbow Apple Logo (can be removed)
I am asking $600, please let me know if you are interested.

I might consider it, I'll have to think about it. I was offered an 15'' 1.67ghz G4, 100 gig hdd, with apple care for 550.

Careful, if you found that on craigslist, there's a scam going around w/ that exact description.

Well the price of that is certainly amazing if it is legit.

Really? Shoot!
Does anyone know the location of these scams? Just to make sure this person is legit. Perhaps I should have them write a note with a picture of the machine.

Nice,
Any price range you're looking for? Do you have any pictures? I have two others I'm considering right now.
One is an 12'' 1.33 ghz G4, 60 gig hdd, 512mem, superdrive, for 450 it has a little ding on the right palm rest area.
The other one is a 15" 1.25 Ghz, 1 GB Ram, 80 GB HDD, Superdrive, for 415 it has a ding on the hinge cover.
I'm willing to go a little more if need be, those are just two of the other offers I'm considering.

There was another one that was 1.67 ghz 15'' it was going for 550, I missed it, I didn't have the money for it, it just sold about 2 and 1/2 days ago. I could probably do around 450 - 599 ish

I think our design guy at the studio wanted to sell his since he upgraded. I think its a 14" 1.33, 512 RAM, Superdrive. Let me know whats your offer so I can let him know if he's interested.
EDIT: Just realized you were only looking at Powerbooks. Ignore this then.

I'd sell my 12" G4 powerbook. I just ordered a new 15" MBP and as soon as it gets here I'll be selling my 12" PB.
1Ghz
768MB ram
40Gig HD
Airport Extreme card
CD (non-superdrive)
Basically a stock PB with 512 extra ram and Airport Extreme card.
if you are interested, get in touch: tjthemaxx (at) cox.net
Let me know what you'll pay. Computer is in really nice shape, screen perfect, battery holds great charge. I can get pics if necessary. If you don't post it, I'll post FS on here in the next few weeks. But I'll hold it for you until you decide if you want it or not since you're having bad luck with people selling out from under you.
Drop me an email. I've got tons of feedback on ebay (user id: gatcha-guy) but mostly lurk on here. I'm a reliable seller though and will happily do paypal or whatever to help you feel safe.
-T.J.
