-UPDATE- SOLD!!!! Thanks to all who were interested.
I am wanting to sell my old iBook (1.33 GHz G4, Firewire 400, 60 GB Hard Drive, 512 MB RAM). It has a major screen issue because I dropped it twice. You can still use it, but it's not very legible because the screen has lines going through it. I am selling it as is. I would suggest you only use it for parts. The actual computer seems to work fine, but again, no guarantees.
I will take best offer and would consider putting it on ebay once I get an offer to make it easier and safer for both of us. All you "iBook part wanters" here is your time!
I have already erased the hard drive and reinstalled OS X Tiger. I have sold an eMac here in the past, so if you want, check my older posts if you need any assuance of my honesty as a seller. Any questions let me know or PM me.

What condition is the power adapter in? Would you be willing to sell it separately?
Is the LCD 12" or 14"?
Do you have any pictures of the laptop?

The power adapter is in pretty bad condition as it got damaged in the fall. It is actually not the original power adapter, it's a Macally brand power adapter (http://item.express.ebay.com/Computers-Networking_Apple-Computers_Apple-Accessories_Macally-AC-Power-Adapter-Charger-for-G4-PowerBook-iBook_W0QQitemZ290157400073QQihZ019QQptdnZAppleQ20AccessoriesQQddnZComputersQ20Q26Q20NetworkingQQadn ZAppleQ20ComputersQQptdiZ1108QQddiZ1192QQadiZ1193QQcmdZExpressItem). I would recommend it if your looking for one, as it's much cheaper than buying a new Apple brand power adapter. Let me guess-- your original adapter's wire got worn down and fried.

As for anyone else who is interested in iBook parts, let me know. I will sell it for very cheap. I'm not trying to make a big buck off of it by any means. I just don't want to see it go to waste. I'll post pics if anyone wants them.

Here's some pictures of the ibook. The first one is just an overall picture of it. The second shows a gap at the base of the screen where it got damaged. The next two pics are of the power adapter: the close-up shows the damage to the adapter where it got bent up, but it still works. The last is of the screen to show the color distortion issues.
If you are the handy type, you might be able to do some repair and get it back in working order, but that would probably consist of getting a new screen. So I still stand by my intention of selling it "as is" for parts.
I already have one offer. I will wait a little longer to see if anyone else wants it. Please PM me with an offer.

Just curious, what's the going rate for iBook (for parts)? I have my trusty iBook 900 that I need to part with. Just sitting here collecting dust. I'd rather sell it here than deal with eBay. Not trying to hijack your thread OP, just curious.

Based in what I've seen, a really, really nice one might bring $150 - $200 on eBay, less here. There seems to be lots of them around when I have looked...
