FS: Four Wallstreet PB G3s and POSSIBLY a Lombard

[im_to_hyper]

I now have two more Wallstreets that look like the "first one" but have 96MB RAM installed, currently. See the second machine for pricing info.

Pre-description disclaimer. :) These laptops are for sale only, no trades will be taken at this time as cash is needed. If you are interested, post here or PM (preferably) and we can work out details. I will only take PayPal. Reason for selling? I have way to many older Macs in my house :) I'm probably going to be invading the Marketplace with tons of these.

NOTE: Both of these systems have 512k of L2 cache, as opposed to the first release

First Wallstreet

233MHz PowerPC G3 750
160MB RAM
20x CD-ROM
2GB HD
12" screen
Battery Lasts 3 Hours
OS X 10.3.9

Asking price: $70 plus shipping.

Second Wallstreet

233MHz PowerPC G3 750
96MB RAM
20x CD-ROM
2GB HD
14" screen
OS X 10.2.8
Note: There is a left hinge issue on this that makes the screen fall back, see pics. It needs that box. Asking price: $95 plus shipping

Asking $70 plus shipping.

Pictures are of second system, more in next post.

EDIT: Lombard sold, payment arriving Saturday (hopefully)

[im_to_hyper]

Here are the pictures of the first system.

(As you can see, I have a lot of junk in the background :D -- Anyone for an LCII?)

[Maxwell Smart]

Nice machines, good luck selling!

[im_to_hyper]

Nice machines, good luck selling!

Ah OK, well then, thank you very much. You sure you don't want one?

[Maxwell Smart]

I was thinking about it, but I really am better off with a G4 iBook, thanks anyway, good luck.

Well, ya never know. Who needs the G4 power anyway. :rolleyes: Alright, yeah, thanks man!

[Eidorian]

How good is the 10.3.9 performance? Is it native or XPostFacto?

[SmurfBoxMasta]

A) Whats the battery condition on the 2nd one ?

B) Whats the screen conditions on both, any stuck/dead pixels ?

C) Do you have any that are faster than 233, and or more ram ?

D) Any software installed on either, and are the OS disks included ?

E) Price for both machines, a package deal, shipped to 29063 ?

[macEfan]

It must be xpostfacto, as these portables could only run up to OS X.2 without the patch.

[zap2]

Ah OK, well then, thank you very much. You sure you don't want one?


He has done that kind of post for about 17% of his post, just to up his post count(i notice pointless stuff like this)

perhaps he is trying to get above the 100 post minimum so he can post something FS here :)

What he said. :D

I'm looking for something to take notes on. I need 10.3 for VoodooPad. :(

[Maxwell Smart]

actually, I'm just trying to show support for threads by bumping, like I do at other forums. Is bumping not accepted at macrumors? I'm new :o

[im_to_hyper]

Hey, the one system I have would work for ya with 10.3.9... and it has Word on it too :D

Wow, I'm gone for a bit and come back to a torrent of messages!! :D

The battery is dead on the second one, yes.

Also, on the first machine 10.3.9 is XPostFacto'd on, so whoever bought it would have to have a 9.2 CD to boot from, otherwise I could just do an install of it an set it to boot from there, and you just select OS X 10.3.9 when OS 9 boots.

Anyway, yes I do have a faster machine, but as of right now it is not working. Its a Lombard 333 with 64MB RAM and is hiding under a bed. I've never actually used it.

Otherwise, these are the only systems I have.

The screen on the second one, except for having a totally shot hinge as mentioned is clear and crisp. The 12" screen has the "older LCD" look to it.

Package deal to that ZIP code: Check your PM inbox.

To whomever asked about the performance: 10.3.9 is faster than 10.2.8

[Eidorian]

Get back to me on that Lombard. :D

Edit: Aww, not working. Oh well. :(

Are you using XPostFacto 4? I installed Tiger (chose "upgrade") over Panther with XPF and I don't even have OS 9. It boots from Tiger every time perfectly...never heard of having to boot into 9 first.

[im_to_hyper]

I'm using 3.1 since I need to get around some sort of weird screen issue that I had with 4.0. The "PatchedRagePro.kext" didn't quite like my Wallstreet here, so I had to revert to 3.1.

Also, yes, you are correct in that it should work fine, but I should have pointed this out as well: the PRAM batteries are dead in each, and using that PRAM battery juice is where XPostFacto stores the boot instructions.

Lombard: I will be working on it this week.... I think its just a loose power cord connector.

[Eidorian]

Shucks and I sold my extra power adapters. :(

[im_to_hyper]

Argh, that sucks :P... I guess you'll have to wait until later this week then :D

Anyone else want a laptop (that I have here, of course)

[SmurfBoxMasta]

still checking for PM.....notta so far
did you send it to me, or to Eidorian ?

[Eidorian]

still checking for PM.....notta so far
did you send it to me, or to Eidorian ?I didn't get anything. ;)

[SmurfBoxMasta]

I didn't get anything. ;)

me either ;

[Daedalus256]

hey hyper, if you could get on aim, I'd like to chat a bit! :)

[im_to_hyper]

hey hyper, if you could get on aim, I'd like to chat a bit! :)

Hey there, I just got back home from a formal Sister Cities dinner.

I'm going online now for about the next 20 minutes, otherwise maybe we can talk tommorow, or try PMing me in the hit-or-miss thing as to whether or not I am on.

Smurf, I think your PM should finally be there now ;)

[SmurfBoxMasta]

Smurf, I think your PM should finally be there now ;)

got it, sent reply :)

[20rogersc]

actually, I'm just trying to show support for threads by bumping, like I do at other forums. Is bumping not accepted at macrumors? I'm new :oMay want to check out the Marketplace Rules (http://guides.macrumors.com/Help:Marketplace_Rules), especially . . .

Bumps. As in all threads, "bump" posts (those that simply bring your thread to the top of the New Posts list) are not permitted because they are unfair to other members' threads. This rule applies not only to posts that say "bump" but to those with the intent to bump
<snip>
Non-interest. If you have no need for the items, ignore the thread.

::20ROGERSC::

[Maxwell Smart]

thanks, 20rogersc, I'll be sure not to bump anymore :)

[im_to_hyper]

While everyone is still bumping my thread.... Ok... yeah. That line of topic COULD have been PMd to him...

If there is no expressed interest in dealing with getting a Wallstreet, then there is no need to be posting.

Now, I believe someone had asked about performance earlier... for some reason Word loads quicker on the 233MHz with 160MB RAM and 10.3.9 than it does on a 300MHz desktop with 512MB RAM and 10.2.8... when I boot that machine into 10.3.9 Word boots faster... must be an OS related issue.

[im_to_hyper]

NOTE: Due to 3 PMs I have recieved I will state this again:

At this time, I am not taking trades since I am in a... eh hem... money situation right now and need cash. Thanks!

[im_to_hyper]

And, description updated once again.

[ReanimationLP]

If anyone buys one of these, I do have a pile of 64MB SO-DIMMs that would work in them and give them a bit of a boost. >.>

Good luck with the sale! I cant believe you have 4 of these puppies! They're built like tanks.

Tell me about it, I can't really believe that I have four, either. :eek: And then I wonder why I have no money...

I can post pics of the other systems, if anyone is interested. Otherwise, they literally look identical to that other system.

[im_to_hyper]

Alrighty, I give in. I add the Lombard here, too.

PowerBook "Lombard"

333MHz PowerPC G3
192MB RAM (up to 544MB)
4.5GB HD
CD-ROM
Battery Holds good 1:45 charge

Asking: $185 plus shipping.

Pics will be in this post, shortly.

Other laptops still available, as well.

[lilstewart]

I get first dibs on the Lombard!

Do you have AIM? Accept PayPal?
What OS?
OS X 10.3?

[im_to_hyper]

Hey there yeah... my AIM name is right underneath my avatar here. I most definately do accept PayPal... the address for ya will be in a PM.

It currently has OS 10.2.8 plus some other... useful programs... installed. I would have put Panther on it or tried XPostFacto'ing Tiger if my disks for each weren't scratched, so I had to resort to my good ol' Jag backup.

Once again, pics coming soon.

Now that I had originally planned on posting pics right away, I do need to mention this, which I was going to point out in the pics. There is a set of two vertical lines of pixels that are a different color running through the left hand portion of the screen. It doesn't do much except look a little funny. Pics will most definately be coming within a few hours, I just need to finish taking pictures of all the other junk that I will be listing here.

OK, I got your PM. Thanks. Hey, do you mind if you get on AIM?

[im_to_hyper]

Hey, yeah... going on AIM now.

[lilstewart]

Hey, yeah... going on AIM now.
I'm on AIM, you're not responding. :p

[im_to_hyper]

Alright, consider the Lombard sold.

I will be getting payment on Saturday, so unless someone will pay $200, then this is no longer available. :D

Also, all the Wallstreets are still here, so if you want one, now's your chance before they go the Ebay route.

[lilstewart]

Alright, consider the Lombard sold.

....to me.


:D

so now, you other people out there need a Wallstreet!! Great machines, great seller!

[im_to_hyper]

Alrighty, I finally bought a battery that works! I put it into the first system, and the price update reflects that.

[lilstewart]

im_to_hyper-
My Dad said yes, so, I need to know your paypal address to send your money. :)

[im_to_hyper]

Alrighty then... that pretty much firms up the Lombard deal then. That is not available whatsoever.

Everything else is.

When are you shipping, can you get on AIM?

[lilstewart]

im_to_hyper, your PM box is full, can you delete some messages?

[im_to_hyper]

Alright then, if no one responds for the Wallstreets by Monday at 3 I will Ebay these.

[im_to_hyper]

Prices Updated. A lot.

[Daedalus256]

if you could throw a bit more ram into the 12" wallstreet I'd be interested.

[im_to_hyper]

if you could throw a bit more ram into the 12" wallstreet I'd be interested.

That's why I lowered the prices... I can't add any more RAM since that is all I have and it wouldn't make sense for me to sell this for $70 if I have to add $20 in RAM. I know that there are one or two people here who would sell you some RAM, though. rgunner has some 256MB chips for not too much...

[Daedalus256]

eh oh well, thanks anyways.

[mrgreen4242]

Quick questions on the 12" Wallstreet:

What is the max memory on that model (ie, how many slots are available and what's the max chip size it will recognize)?
What sort of HDD did those use? (2gb can't have much space left after 10.3.9 :P) I assume a standard 2.5" IDE drive?
Are you including any OS discs with the system?
How much for shipping to 48837?
*EDIT* Also I assume these come with power adaptors?

Thanks!

Max mem... I know you can add a 256MB chip to the top slot, not sure about the bottom one though.

They take standard 2.5" IDE drives... I have successfully used up to a 30GB in one. I have an extra 4GB available, otherwise you can use your own :D

No, no OS disks.

Shipping... $9 per system I think.

Yes, yo-yo Power adapters are included.

[mrgreen4242]

I'm definitely wanting one of these... just gotta figure out how I can get another computer into the house with [edit:] the wife getting TOO cranky. (that makes more sense now :P)

Last question(s): The "other two" are 12" 233mhz Wallstreets, right? Same specs as "the first one", except less RAM. How are the batteries on those two? Also, just to clarify, you're asking $70 each for the 12's and $95 for the 14?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Batteries are just enough so that when you close the lid, you can move it to a different room and plug it in and open it up.

And yes, those are the prices I am asking for everything. If you wanted, I could do large group shipment of these for $330, shipped. (Saves on some of the shipping cost)

I will also throw in all the RAM chips I own (64MB is the highest, I believe), an extra 4GB laptop HD, and an 80GB desktop HD I have sitting around, though I am not sure if that works great right now.

[Doctor Q]

Note: im_to_hyper has had to cancel all sales. See thread.

[im_to_hyper]

I am back at MR and will be back to town tommorow sometime.

I am willing to continue deals.

To the person that wanted to buy a lot of these for a discounted price: are you still interested??

Other interested parties, feel free to PM away.

[Eidorian]

Just how well does 10.2 run on that first WallStreet? I might consider it just for fun. :p

(I noticed it has 10.3.9. Much more perky than 10.2 or not?)

[im_to_hyper]

10.2 runs pretty well, not too badly. 10.3.9 tends to have a bit snappier Finder, though.

Overall, either OS on the system runs quite well and it is fun to play around with these.

[ITASOR]

Your post says you have 2 more of the ones with smaller screens, but have only 96MB RAM installed. It says see the Price on the bigger screen one for more info, but all your wallstreets are similarly priced at $70...the ones with 96MB and not a great battery are also 70?

[Eidorian]

10.2 runs pretty well, not too badly. 10.3.9 tends to have a bit snappier Finder, though.

[im_to_hyper]

Yes that is pretty much how it works. There is one battery that gets about an hour life that I am including with one if someone buys a lot of them. I figured $70 is an easy price point, rather than dickering $5 here and there.

[BillHarrison]

I am interested hyper, do you have a power adapter with them?

I would be interested in the 14" model, 70 bucks w/ battery and power adapter?

I really want an ibook g3, any way you could help me out there?

We have done business before.

Thanks

Bill

[im_to_hyper]

Hey there --- yup, $70... check PM for email address. :D

Also, I do indeed have an iBook, but someone may be buying it tommorow --- if not, I will let you know.
