Just looking to see what my powerbook will go for. This machine is in excellent condition with only 2 very very small scratch on the top of the display near the back. You have to look very hard to see them. Other then that no other scratches or dents. If you look at it you would think is BRAND NEW. (very anal about my machines) anyway
Here are the specs
1.5ghz
1.25GB memory (maxed ram)
80GB HDD
SD
AE/BT
10.5.1 (DVD Included)
2004 office (CD Included)
Original box
Apple care until 4/09
I guess I'm going to throw this out there. I will trade this PB for a Black MB and some cash on my end. Also I can add a Brand New iPod touch to sweetin the deal if there is any.
The only catch is that the black MB must have apple care left. (or I can add it later)

I think I know someone who might be very interested, and I think he'd pay a good, fair price without bickering. Even if he didn't, I would be interested (I'd buy it and sell him one of mine). If you end up wanting to sell this, I would be very interested.

I'm open through PM's, I'm still trying to decide to jump on the intel band wagon or not

Just letting you know, on everymac.com it lists 12" 1.5 PB for about $1050 but I really don't know the "true" market value.
This guy (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=4850835#post4850835) was asking for $500. -shrugs-
EDIT:
Seller sold it for $475 (For a pretty bad powerbook :p)
Judging by completed listings on eBay (http://search-completed.ebay.com/1-5-12-powerbook-g4_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQcatrefZC5QQdfspZ1QQfbdZ1QQfclZ3QQfisZ2QQflocZ1QQfposZ32608QQfromZR6QQfrppZ50QQfs ooZ1QQfsopZ1QQfssZ0QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQnojsprZyQQpfidZ0QQsaaffZafdefaultQQsabfmtsZ0QQsacatZQ2d1QQsacqy opZgeQQsacurZ0QQsadisZ200QQsaobfmtsZexsifQQsargnZQ2d1QQsaslcZ0QQsaslopZ1QQsatitleZ1Q2e5Q2012Q20power bookQ20g4QQsofocusZbs?GetResult&_trksid=m37&catref=C5&dfsp=1&fbd=1&fcl=3&fis=2&floc=1&fpos=32608&from=R6&frpp=50&fsoo=1&fsop=1&fss=0&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&nojspr=y&pfid=0&saaff=afdefault&sabfmts=0&sacat=-1&sacqyop=ge&sacur=0&sadis=200&saobfmts=exsif&sargn=-1&saslc=0&saslop=1&satitle=1.5+12+powerbook+g4&sofocus=bs&guest=1), I'd say around $800 at most on eBay, less here. There was one for over $1000 (http://cgi.ebay.com/USED-PowerBook-G4-12-1-5-GHz-1-25GB-RAM-160GB-HD-NR_W0QQitemZ280191513258QQihZ018QQcategoryZ14909QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) but that looks like an outlier.

If you read the rest of the post, his machine had a bad ram slot. That's why it's so cheap.

It has 10.5.1 (Leopard) as in the original post.

at the very very least you can get 700-750 + shipping....
that would be low end considering what is on ebay and how nice yours seems from the description

Sell it in Europe. I bought mine two months ago (exactly the same spec except for MS Office, I don't use it) for about $1200 including the Leopard box. And it was cheap for a maxxed out PB G4 12" 1.5GHz.

Would you sell the iPod Touch separate?

I agree that this is worth 750 or more. A lot of people were disappointed with the Macbook Air and these are still a hot ultraportable computers.
With Applecare remaining there is in reason to settle for less than 800. Good Luck!
