The dodgy iBooks are the ones that IIRC had the g4 processor in it. The iBook I am selling is a G3 366Mhz, it normally comes with a 10gig hdd, however, I upgraded it to a 40gig one from Fujitsu. The speed is ok when running MacOS X - just don't expect to run games at lightening speeds.

No, it was the last round of G3s which had the motherboard problems- the G4s are superb. Typing this on one, actually. You might want to mention that your Indigo actually has FireWire - the first iBook to have it. You can run iMovie ... if you're reasonably patient! You'd do much better to split them, but it's your sale of course. MK. > > > I've heard a few people have these, and are still having no joy with > > > Apple...

Considering one is getting a system with 4 times the standard memory, a hard disk twice the size as usual, I would have though the cost for the two isn't too demanding considering the prices I see systems go for on ebay and the likes.

They're good value all right, I just reckon your chances of someone wanting to buy two computers at once is fairly low ... Cheers, MK.

Hmmm....good value? I remember advertising a 1.25Ghz eMac not long at $1350 with 1 Gig of Ram, A07 superdrive and a 60 Gig HD, and got only 1 bite (luckily it sold). When selling secondhand stuff, you do have to take into account what new stuff is selling for (and how much add ons would be). Remember a new eMac starts at $1299. Ram and hard drives are cheap, plus you get a full warranty and all the latest motherboard enhancements. And you have to remember that you are selling a dunny-seat iBook, which have dropped significantly in value since the market was flooded with edu 500Mhz white ibooks that have now come out of leasing arrangements. Ebay is not really a guide, as people get auction fever and pay more than what they should (its a sellers tool, not a buyers). You only have to see what specials Applebits have been running for in the last few weeks to get a good gauge on what your equipment is worth. If you are willing to sit on that price for a while, then you might get someone interested. Otherwise, be open to offers and see what happens. Good luck with your sale! Seeya Rod! BTW, the iBooks that have the problems are the white G3 dual USB iBooks (from the 500 up to the last of the 900Mhz models). The hard drive was placed right on top of the graphics chip, so all of the heat from the drive caused the chip to lift (coupled with bending the case in that area). > Hmmm....good value?

To add a data point, I bought an indigo iBook (of lesser spec) for $350 recently. MK.

The new stuff has dropped in price, so the secondhand stuff comes down accordingly!

If only we could vote for George dubya. His economic ability has been fantastic for Australia. SignaturePeter McCallum Mackay Qld AUSTRALIA |
