Feeler: 1.5 Ghz G4 Mac Mini

[getbigg21]

Hello-

I have a G4 Mac Mini that's the silent upgrade running at 1.5 Ghz that I'm looking to sell. It has 1.0Gigs of ram, 80 gig hard drive, bluetooth/airport extreme, superdrive, and 64v-ram. Has applecare till Dec 08. I could also sell the apple brand bluetooth wireless keyboard w/ it and also the bluetooth mighty mouse. Let me know what you think. Thanks again.

What are you looking to get for it?

[wyatt23]

i know this is just a feeler, but if you're looking to get rid of it, i'd give you $400/shipped. i think you could expect more offers like that on MR, ebay would obivously fetch more, but ebay is the way of the headache for most.

[getbigg21]

didn't really have anything in mind at the moment. what did you have in mind?

When did you purchase this? With Applecare it would be worth the given price.

[getbigg21]

it was purchased dec. of 05. i would like to get more than $400 shipped for it though.

Interested in a 12" PB? Doubtful... but maybe.

thats why a ballpark figuire helps. throw out a number, and people will offer you what they would pay for it.

[getbigg21]

i don't know about a ballpark figure but i know that $400 shipped is quite a bit low.

[wyatt23]

on macnn marketplace, there is a 1.42/combo drive for $400 obo, and there is a 1.5/superdrive for $460/obo.

the extra two years would increase the value, but i'm still offering what i have to offer. you didn't offer a price. no big. you could probly make 600 on ebay. even for 500 on MacRumors, tho, it'd problably be a stretch unless someone really needed one, and you could get $400-450 from people [like me] who really just want one.

try to have SOME ballpark figure you want, and even if you say, hey i think it's worth 1000 bucks, someone would say, it's worth more around 500, ebay will get more.

exactly, it helps.

[getbigg21]

i would like to get as close to $600 as possible

[Sdashiki]

You wont get anywhere near that, sorry.

$600 when you can get intel Core Duos for that price range....

its a huge speed difference from a G4 to a Dual Core....

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I'll have to agree. Don't forget the minis are on their second intel revision, so you're two 'generations' out. Why would someone pay $600 for a two-generation old, used mini when they could pay Apple $600 for a brand new unit? The core solo minis only go for $450ish on eBay, and those are newer than yours.

I know you have applecare, but I don't know.. if someone could buy a brand new unit for the same price as yours, they'd be getting a much faster machine and a year's time to buy extended applecare.

A ppc-based machine itself is going to be a hard sell since the future is with intel. Probably top out ~$450 forums price, and between $450-$10,000 on ebay. :rolleyes:

[wyatt23]

all of a sudden, 400 shipped isn't such a bad deal. :rolleyes:

[xfiftyfour]

My mistake! Forgot to click "completed listings" !

[wyatt23]

i meant to say 325 shipped. :D
