Hi! I'm thinking about getting a 17" powerbook. I don't really care about the specs on it, but I'd like to see if any one has one that they'd like taken off their hands. Please pm or post your offers and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

I'm not too picky about the condition, a couple scratches are ok, but I'd expect to pay a little less for a scratched one.

Let me know...

Thanks for looking!!

I'm still thinking about it. I'm not sure which I like better....only time will tell :-d but your MBP is a sweet deal.

If any one needs an excellent MBP at an awesome price, marissa can hook you up. Great seller. (but I might be buying it from her...we'll see...WWDC)

Well, in my opinion, I think $1300 is a high asking price for it. I saw a 17" PB with similar specs go for $1100. That was an awesome deal for it, but I think since the MBP's are out and since new ones will be coming out some time soon, I think prices are starting to sink on the g4's. It's nice, and I'd love to buy it, if the price was right...and if the new MBPs arent released at WWDC.

not meaning to offend or upset. Just my opinion...

Well you've always got to start high if you want any room to work down (and perhaps someone will take you up on it). And at least there's a bit of extra value from the two years of Applecare.

Yea, the apple care adds sometime it. It's that extra insurance. It's a great looking PB though. I hope you can get what you want for it
