All specs same as current modelminus the resolution ( 1440X900) and I have 2GB of RAM...... I played with a MBP today and I think I have the "BUG" . What do you think I could get for my book....... it is in mint condition.

I was curious about selling mine too...it's a 1.5GHz model with 1 GB of RAM, an 80GB at 5,400 rpm...I bought it in September 2004. I wonder what mine is worth?

Just check ebay; it's filled with Powerbooks for sale now. I am waiting to see the new iBooks personally. If they are wide screen I might consider one of those instead.

I would keep your 17" unless you really need the power. Wait a year or so.

So....... I ask the question again: Whatdo you think I could get.... eBay seems to be getting around 2000-2300.00 for a system with my configuration..... does this sound good?

I'd say around $1600. I just got myself a Powerbook here - same specs as yours only 1GB ram instead of the 2, and I paid $1250. I consider that to be a good deal. So yeah if your going to eBay - you'd probably get like between $1600 upto $1800 if your lucky and market it well
