WTB: Powerbook Restore Discs

[getbigg21]

I have a 17 inch 1.5 ghz powerbook and I'm missing the restore discs. I am looking for someone that has them and would like to sell them or even better give them to me to do a fresh install. I would even send them back after I use them.

Thanks

I have a set from the last rev Powerbook, will those work?

I still don't think you'll be able to find a whole set for under $25 still.

You can call apple and order another set since you lost yours.

yeah i called apple and they wanted to charge me like $43 for them. that's crazy.

But that's a very competitive price for what youre looking for.

[getbigg21]

not really. i know i can get them for cheaper

I know that you can, And that's why I said a competitive price, not the lowest. That price form apple is good. A copy of ilife, trial software AND mac os for 43$, Thats not all too much.

No it's not really. I had trouble selling a set of restore disks for the last generation 12" iBook and finally ended up posting them for $20 and they sold.

And you can only install the iLife and OS on that particular model computer, so it's not really fair to compare them to the price of iLife and Tiger retail versions.

yeah another guy here on the forums is going to send me his for free. if they don't work then i will let everyone know and we will go from there. thanks all

If those other ones don't work, I have a set of Powerbook 15/17" Install CDs in my thread: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=221511. They're 10.3.7 discs though. Someone's called dibs on the set already so I'm just waiting for the payment to go through.

[getbigg21]

yeah i don't really want to have to pay for a set. i would rather just use them and give them back

Right but it's still ilife and all the apps on there, so it does still count. None the less I knwo I cant compare them to the retail prices, but it does add to the reason and such why they are priced above $20 usually.

On craigslist I sold a set for a 15" powerbook rev B for $35 w/ local pickup, so that is where I am basing my pricing.

that's fine how your justifying your price. i just don't wanna pay a big price for any.
