I guess it's about time to sell my baby and look for something new...unfortunately I think I'm heading out of the PB market and into the G5...

It's a Pismo, 500 Mhz
640MB Ram
30 GB HD
the battery is still here, but completely drained, you might be able to trade it to a store that reconditions...
Power adapter, original boxes, original restore disks. All software updates to 10.2.8 installed.
It's in great condition, regular wear but nothing major. No stuck pixels.
I will include a coolpad stand and a leather keyboard cover/protector. If desired I can include a 250 USB zip drive. There is a ton of software on it, but I will be deleting most of the really good stuff for legal/security reasons. Let me know if you have special requests.

This is a beautiful machine and in my opinion one of the best ever made by Apple. Please email me at maelstromr@aol.com with any questions. I CAN provide pictures, but it may take a while to find and borrow a camera.

Make me an offer...I know these guys are getting long in the tooth, but their value is sticking pretty well for computer equipment.

Seth

With a 800mhz G4 now going for 1099 in the new iBook, I wonder how the value of the Pismo is going to hold up.


Yea, its a kick ass machine, but its pushin 4 years here soon. EDU prices on iBooks bring G4 laptops under a grand.


Its weird how the mac resale market has never made ANY mathematical sense.

An Mac like an Lc II sells for 5-10 bucks, a pc from that same era: 50 Cent

I also have a Pismo, and I think it's going for around 600 buck...I hate it as well since I paid a lot more than that...Good luck!
