1Ghz PowerPC G4; 1GB RAM (2-512); 60 GB HD; Superdrive

All or parting out. Make offer.

Both hinges are "shot" & lid needs to be propped; Video cable to screen is somewhat damaged as there are fine vertical lines on the screen. Aftermarket AC charger.

Otherwise is in fine working condition. Entire computer will be "wiped" if wanted whole, and 10.4 installed (can I do that? Please advise.) Otherwise original OS will be installed--I DO have original disks!

Whole unit will take priority over parts.

Again, make requests &/or offers. Shipping from 46601 Zip code

How much are you looking to get out of it?

How much would shipping be to 83686

Jesse, I'll just take a stab in the dark on shipping and say $10-15 tops; more for insurance.

Price? That's why I said" Make offer. It is of no use to me, and you'll need to put $ into it. I've also just discovered that the battery is on it's last legs, so you'd need another $100 for that.

How about: As is, wiped with fresh 10.4 installed for $150 shipped. Will that work?

Can you attach some pictures?

Would you be willing to take any off if you didnt load it with an OS?

I have Panther, Tiger, and Leopard.

Thanks

No, as I also have all of the above too. I guess, legally, I can only install from original install disks.

I only offered to load Tiger as I WILL need to wipe the computer. I'm sure you wouldn't want a computer with nothing on it, besides, I'm not sure how to wipe it out without installing an OS.

I'll just install from the original disks as a fresh new install. You can install whatever you wish.

You just stick the install disk in, go into disk utility, and format the hard drive, and then instead of installing, you just quit.

Sorry, But No Thanks

Ah well--I tried.

I've got another just for you. I'll not post it for a few more days:

12" iBook (Dual USB) 500Mhz PowerPC G3/20Gig HD; 384 MB RAM; Airport card; CD-R; 2 USB; 1 FW ports; After-market 65W charger.

NOTHING wrong with it except missing 1 of 4 rubber foot.

YOU make offer!

SGilbert
July 9th, 2009, 11:06 PM

(BTW - mac2sell.net is a great site for quickly finding out whether you're getting a good deal or not, and giving one an idea of how much to ask for a computer. Be advised though that the prices aren't always accurate, and tend to low-ball sometimes.)

Jesse714
July 23rd, 2009, 08:40 PM
the TI, How much would you want for the ram and HD and DVD drive?

SGilbert
July 23rd, 2009, 09:55 PM
Just a "stab in the dark": RAM: $10 ea=$20; HD: $25; Superdrive $25. That's $70.

How 'bout $100 complete & shipped?

Jesse714
July 23rd, 2009, 09:59 PM
Haha, your hard to bargain with, you told me 150 for all

SGilbert
July 23rd, 2009, 10:00 PM
Yes, and you balked! Now I've countered with $100 for all! Want to go back to $150?

Jesse714
July 23rd, 2009, 10:19 PM
No no LOL, 100 is good, i thought you meant 100 for the HD, DVD, and Ram.
But if it is 100 for all, then yeah ill buy it from you.
I'm trying to sell one of the 3 ibook's g3's that i have on ebay, so when it does sell, ill let you know.

I'll take Paypal, MO, or check-but I'd have to hold it for 10 days before shipping. (been burned before!)

Paypal is easiest, fastest, and safest for both of us.

WHEN you're ready, let me know & I'll PM you with info.

Jesse714
July 23rd, 2009, 10:54 PM
I'll go with paypal, thats what im using on eBay. yeah 10 days is cool, so long as you ship it. I'd be really pissed if i got F'D

SGilbert
July 24th, 2009, 10:08 AM
10 days would be for a check. So far, I trust Paypal, and would ship right away.

As I said, when you're ready, and IF I still have it, I'll give you my info & get yours, via PM.

SGilbert
July 28th, 2009, 10:41 PM

Evans47,

Your lack of grasping the English language, capitalization, and being a "one-post wonder" greatly disturbs me to the point of suspecting a scam.

If I'm wrong, you and others will rightfully slap me down, but for now, I'll NOT "bite"!
