WTB: iMac G3 Flower Power

[sigamy]

I know these are rare--they pop up on ebay once in a while. Just wanted to see if anyone has one for sale. This would make a great first computer for my daughter.

Thanks.

What's wrong with a 333 mhz with 64mb RAM and a 6gb hard drive one?I will sell this one for 75.00 shipped!

do they really still go for $350? You could buy a Snow iMac for much less and then paint flowers on it yourself....

[moooosedude]

biohazard6969 has a flowerpower 600 up for sale (look toward the middle of page 1) only 160 bucks!

the only problem is the speaker is a tad bit charded. :)

That's not bad for one that's upgraded like that...640MB RAM and a 40GB HD.

Or you could get a refurbished Mac Mini...

I have noticed that Mac's tend to hold value a lot better than their PC counterparts. But like anything depreciation hurts at times :) I would bet i could get $350 for mine as configured in my sig.. i think.

My iMac is upgraded :D Installing Tiger on it as i type

Exactly! Can you tell my wife that? I made the mistake of showing her the Flower Power once and now she wants it for our daughter. I keep telling her I can get the Strawberry or Grape for under $80 on craigslist but these FPs are so rare--and expensive. You can get a loaded Snow G3 or even a Rev A eMac or mac mini for these prices...

women.

You can get a loaded Snow G3

snow G3's are cool too because the resemble the "newer" macs...like the eMac, etc. If looked into getting one myself, but I can't stand the CRT's.

How about a ruby iMac G3 DV SE? It's decent, more rare than the others, and not too pricey. I got one a while back for $150 on eBay.

[biohazard6969]

mine is stil up for grabs, but to be honest i din't know that it was this rare....maybe i should be askin a little more than 160....and for the recort the 'charing' is absolutely nothing, the speaker is still fully functional and everything

[kingcrowing]

get a dalnmation one, I'm sure your wife would love it :-p

I seem to remember most people here hating them though. And they didn't do very well in the stores... how long did they last? Less than a year i think.

I guess they were too "Different"

Haha - yeah you put it exactly right. Apple has a history of making things that are too "Different". I have to admit I thought they were pretty ridiculous back then, but now they seem pretty awesome.

And that's why they demand higher prices now. The oddball Apples that don't sell well always cost more later on.
