Alright guys, I know everyone here's going nuts about the new PB's release, and I've stumbled onto a connection that I can help exactly one person get a great deal on either a new 12" PB or a new 15" PB.

PowerBook 1GHz/Combo (12.1" TFT)
1GHz PowerPC G4
Combo Drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW)
40GB Ultra ATA drive @ 4200rpm
256MB DDR266
AirPort Extreme Card INSTALLED
and
3-Year AppleCare Warranty for PowerBook - Enrollment Kit

From the Apple.com Store, this exact order costs $2,047 + ~$143 (7% sales tax) = $2,190

I can provide this package, brand new, no catches, to someone interested for $1,725, a $322 savings.

OR...I can provide this deal:

PowerBook 1GHz (15.2" TFT)
1GHz PowerPC G4
256MB DDR333 SDRAM
AirPort Extreme Card INSTALLED
60GB Ultra ATA drive
Combo Drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW)
and
3-Year AppleCare Warranty for PowerBook - Enrollment Kit

From the Apple.com Store, this exact order costs $2,447 + ~$171 (7% sales tax) = $2,618

I can provide this package for $2,225, a $393 savings.

The only deal is that I have to put the order in by tomorrow at 5pm EST, so I'll need the money PayPal'd to me by then to get you the savings. This is an offer directed to me specifically, but since I'm not in the market for a new PB, I thought I'd offer the chance to the pals here at MacNN. Just PM me or post here if interested, or email me at triggahappydude *at* excite.com...hope I can help somebody out!

Because I attend a public university with a Mac Users Group and thus I'm able to get this deal due to a slipup on pricing that Apple has to make good for our MUG until tomorrow at 5pm EST. Honestly, I'm an eBay PowerSeller w/ over 175 positives and 0 negatives, have completed many $1,000+ transactions there, and have extensive references here. Thanks for your uninformed post.

I retract my statements now that I know how you're receiving them. My apologies to you, but please let people know next time how you go about getting good deals so it doesn't bring up any questionable practices. Hope you get some people out there take advantage of this deal.

How un-secretive can I get? I just told you exactly why this deal has been presented to me; there's been a pricing error that Apple will void as of tomorrow...obviously they're losing money in these offers. Regardless, people know my reputation on these forums, and if you wish not to take part in this, super.

EDIT: Thanks
