In what numeric system is $799 "shite loads more" than $1100? Allow $100 for mouse / keyboard, $300 for a 17" flat panel, and you've got a brand new computer almost twice the speed of this secondhand one.

Or, if you already have a computer, using the existing monitor, keyboard and mouse for $0 extra.

More like $450 for a decent 17" LCD with 8ms response time.

Which is way better than the 15" LCD with 16ms response time of the machine advertised, and hence an invalid comparison ... >>>>$1100 o.n.o >>> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > MK. with a very small drive , does it come with a dvd ? enough ram etc etc wake up to your self ( what about o/s) >>>>>$1100 o.n.o >>>> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > with a very small drive , does it come with a dvd ? > enough ram etc etc The OP is selling his old iMac with * 800MHz PowerPC G4 * 15" Screen * 55Gb Hard Drive * 256MB Ram * Asking $1100 ono Compare with brand new Mac Mini * 40 or 80 GB drive * 256 MB RAM * Full Warranty * Up to $300 less asking price than above iMac. > wake up to your self ( what about o/s) * System software - Mac OS X version 10.3 Panther, includes Classic environment, Mail, iChat AV, Safari, Sherlock, Address Book, QuickTime, iSync, iCal * Bundled Software - iLife 05 (includes iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie,iDVD and GarageBand), AppleWorks, Quicken 2005 for Mac, Nanosaur 2, Marble Blast Gold and Apple Hardware Test * Full specs: <http://www.apple.com/macmini/specs.html> Signaturedee > > Allow $100 for mouse / keyboard, $300 for a 17" flat panel, and you've > > got a brand new computer almost twice the speed of this secondhand one. > > > > MK. > with a very small drive , Well, comes with 40Gb, and can have 80Gb for slightly extra, which seems larger than the 55Gb of the offered machine (by my reckoning). > does it come with a dvd ? Ah, yes, even a DVD writer if you add money. > enough ram etc etc Same RAM as the advertised machine. > wake up to your self ( what about o/s) Care to elaborate on that statement? I might also reiterate that it would be a NEW computer, whereas the advertised one is second-hand. MK.

We all wanted cheaper prices for new Macs, but still want a fortune when we want to sell them to upgrade :-) > The days of getting good returns on secondhand *consumer* Mac equipment are > gone. We all wanted cheaper prices for new Macs, but still want a fortune > when we want to sell them to upgrade :-) I agree with the first part. But when I bought my new dual G5, I sold my dual G4 (which I paid $8k for Oct 2001) for US$1200 and paid A$430 freighting it to the states.

I'm not an Mac User. I'm selling the iMac for my sister. She wanted $1100 for it since she paid "shite loads more" ;) when she bought it... The mini's look pretty cool I have to admit... good value for people on a tight budget! Thanks for the input everyone... the iMac has been sold (for more than the asking price! - how unfortunate for those that don't do their research...) |
