I've never found particularly good deals on used Mac stuff. If you look on eBay, I consistently see 6 month old stuff going for MAYBE 5-10% lower than the price of the brand new models (with new warranties, etc). This is great for Mac owners - our systems are REALLY holding value (what 4 year old PC can still get 500-800 dollars US?), but bad for new owners looking for a deal.

That said, I've also found some good deals, they're just VERY difficult to find.

Things have changed since April---

The dv imac was adopted by a graduate from parental custody
The tangerine iBook morphed into a 14 inch icebook and subsequently shrank to a 12 inch model.
Santa brought the undergraduates an eMac which liberated the icebook from being overworked and underpaid...

Because I work in the computer service industry, I have an "above average" number of computers (both PC and Mac) lying around my basement. I typically try to keep at least 2 or 3 functional, used machines handy for cases where someone requests a "loaner" while theirs is being fixed, or cases where they want to buy a complete system cheap.

Myself though, I own 2 newer Macs that I use regularly; a new Aluminum Powerbook 15" I got for Xmas, and a dual 2.0Ghz G5 tower I bought for a 10% discount on the "night of the Panther" at my local Apple store.

I believe I have a total of 6 Macs around the house right now though. My 2 year old daughter has a PowerMac 5500/250 running MacOS 9.1 that's loaded with learning games. I have a PowerMac 7600 with a Sonnet G4 accelerator and PCI Ultra-ATA 100 EIDE card in it, also running MacOS 9.1 - which I keep around for backwards compatibility with older Mac apps I might want to use. (It has a nice SCSI scanner on it too, that has no OS X support. I often use it to create PDF documents from scanned paperwork.) The last 2 Macs are an old IIsi with MacOS 7.6.1 on it and an "all in one" beige G3 system that I'm tinkering around with. (It occasionally freezes up, but swapping the RAM only results in changes in the frequency with which it hangs. So far, none of the RAM I tried fully resolved the issue. The SCSI zip drive I added to it doesn't work either.)

Other than that, my wife and I own a couple of PCs that are in our "computer room" upstairs. (She hates the Mac, so she tends to play MMORPG type games on either of the 2 PCs.)

16-20 Macs? That's a category I'd love to be in....
