price value after...

[mikeyredk]

okay lets say the rumors are right we will see a 970 system by the end of the year what will this do to current g4 prices? or g3 prices?
ussually apple computers retain their value (as to what i read on message boards)
would we see a big decline in prices?
see prices go down but in the ussual fashion?

will dropped like a knackered elevator... :p :p :p

Actually probably not.... but they will take a knock.... It'll be worse once 970 machines enter the used markets in heavy numbers....

I think it will really only be noticable once the 970's enter the used market en masse (as stated above) until then expect resale values to be just as good as they have been. BTW has anyone checked the prices of other systems on ebay?? Beige G3's and even G4's have come way down since I last looked.
