Hi Guys

I have a 17" Powerbook 1.67, HiRes, 1.5GB RAM, the HDD was just upgrade to 160GB, it has a small dent in the bottom corner left but other than that runs great.

How much can I get for this machine as I really want to make the jump to the Macbook Pro. I've seen lower spec 12" Powerbooks go on ebay for near 800USD, but I suppose they've now entered cult territory.

Any ideas on how much I can get for this machine?

Cheers

A quick look at the eBay completed auctions says $1000-1400.

Wow, this is exactly what my dad is looking for, although he is rather wary about buying from non-retail stores. I'll pm you if he's interested though.
