Does anyone know where I could find an old ibook clamshell for under $200? checked ebay and they dont really seem to have a great selection. If anyone has one that they want to sell or know where to get one that would be excellant.

Hi. I'm not entirely sure... try Craigslist. I sold my iBook Clamshell on there a couple days ago because I upgraded to a MacBook Pro. It was and is an excellent machine. I never upgraded before because of its durability. Make sure to get one of the last models unless you can't live without the colors of the others. It will be a much better experience if you buy a 466 Mhz model with possibly an upgraded HD and 576 MB RAM. Be patient, they do come up! It just takes time...

I just need it to store some photos, word documents, and some internet surfing. Im leaving town for a while and last time I left, my macbook almost got stolen so I really dont want to bring it with me. Plus I just think the clamshell ibooks look kool.

How much do you think you would be willing to sell one for?

Even if there is just some minor problems, ie: missing keys, missing harddrive, no OS, no RAM, I will still be intrested.

I dont really have anything that I can trade. Should I pay you the $150 through pay pal and have you ship it to me? Ill pay for shipping too.
