i am looking into the purchase of a used imac 15" 700mhz off ebay i was wondering what would be a fair price to pay.... something in the range of 400-500 or 600-700

also i was wondering are there any free programs that allow ftp hosting on OS X or is it intergrated

thanks

I can't speak with any authority on pricing, but I would expect to pay more than that.

As for ftp hosting, all I did was check the ftp box in the sharing panel of system preferences, and I was able to ftp myself files from other computers, and take them off as well, I assume (never tried). Is that what you mean by hosting?

You will probably pay at least $1000 for a 15" flat panel iMac on eBay no matter what speed you get. Anything too much less than that and I'd be surprised.

For $700 you could probably get a low end eMac.
