In great shape cosmetically and functionality. Includes all original accessories / box / documentation and I'd even swap the used earbuds for brand new ones from the 5G I plan on replacing this with.

I was thinking somewhere around $200 but let's hear the interest.

Cheetah sir, give me a price for the imac.

Make it low and I'll buy it.

Just for comparison, I just sold my iPod silver 4gb on ebbay for $175 in box, but it was NOT elligible for warrenty, as the UPC was cut. I think your asking price is very fair

What's low? :) It's a feeler so fire away some prices. Seeing as these are now EoL, I would tend to believe the demand for a native (outside of Mac OS X Tiger and iLife) performing iMac to actually rise...And the price a bit with it. :D BTW, I'm also open to offers if someone is interested in taking it with the extra 1GB installed.

Thank you! Was yours the first or second gen.? The second gen. has perks and the 6GB was only available in the second gen. This is in basically new condition, except the earbuds. They are a bit 'fried' ( long story that I don't feel necessary to elaborate on ) so 'high' volume listening is a bit annoying but anywhere from 0-3/4 is fine but I'd be willing to include some generic ( sealed ) earbuds instead...If the buyer would prefer. I do have sealed Apple earbud covers for the Apple style 'phones -- Not that I'm dirty or anything like that :D.

I'm actually working at the moment of posting some quick photos.

Hi

Low, my friend, is a grand plus shipping.

Plus an agreed upon price for the ram.

Hi
Ah...Well...That seems a bit far from a new Mac for me...But we'll have to see what the future brings.

i am willing to trade the following ibook, and possibly the following ipod (you can keep the 1GB stick of ram and just give me 512mb if you'd like)

ibook:

1.2GHZ G4
512mb ram
80GB Hardrive
Airport extreme
Bluetooth (installed after-market for over 100$)
mini VGA-VGA adapter
Sport Folio II black case
battery is 94% of its original charge says coconut battery
i will also consider including the following ipod

20GB 4th gen in great condition, few/no scratches on the back, front is a little scratched though. comes with dock and sony in-ear earbuds and a set of apple earbuds, and a pink sock.

so yea, please let me know, this is a more then fair deal i think. did i mention you can keep the ipod mini, and I only need the 512mb stick of ram.

thanks,

Hi
Hhhmmm...I'll certainly keep it in mind but I was 'looking' more towards a 20" iMac G5 (iSight) and a 20-30GB iPod with color screen, maybe even a 5G.

[da2005pizimp]

Well since this is a feeler i'll give you $150 for the ipod? or i do have a TON of clamshell ibooks that i don't want to have to put on ebay?

[MacCheetah3]

Hi
Very interesting. $150 isn't a bad price but I was hoping for more. I don't need a ton of clamshells but I would be interested in one of them, possibly. It wouldn't be for trade but purchase outright for a reason outside of this thread. Can you PM me the specs and what you'd be looking to get? Thanks!

[MacCheetah3]

Hi
Will anyone do $215 shipped / insured (US 48) for the iPod mini?

I would even include brand new, unused Apple earbuds.

I'm really thinking of a 30GB in black w/ Etymotic Research ER6i Canalphones. I enjoy music so much that I'd forget about a new 'puter.

...And if anyone has either of these they'd like to sell / trade, let's talk. :)

[MacCheetah3]

Hi
So...

[MacCheetah3]

Hi
Still listening to offers and thinking...

Though, I may consider eBay soon enough.

PM'd you about some Etymotic earrphones

[MacCheetah3]

Hi
Responded.

Anyone interested in the mini?

[wnameth]

you did say you would consider my trade offer, how does this sound:

my ibook in my sig, with a MX518 mouse and the 20GB 4th gen ipod.

[technicolor]

You can get a refurb'd 20 gig 4g ipod on the apple site for 189.

and a 40 gig with dock for 249.00

I did. I've been tossing ideas around and finally came to the conclusion that I'm going to keep the iMac -- The 20" was much more of a want for a larger screen than need -- and get a 30GB 5G w/ AKG K12p earbuds. Thanks anyway!

You are correct. Though, these are different product lines, noticeably. Looking at PriceGrabber.com (http://www.pricegrabber.com/p__Apple_iPod_mini_4GB_2nd_Gen_MP3_Player_Silver,__6987614/search=ipod+mini+silver), it seems my price is very fair. The first two don't count as one is in worse cosmetic condition and the second doesn't completely count as it is refurbished with basically same warranty.

However, how about $200 shipped / insured 48 US w/ brand new earbuds -- From my 5G when I get it? I hate eBay fees but I'll do it if I must.
