Feeler: iBook 14" 1.42/1G/60, iSight

[jackiecanev2]

Putting a feeler out there: how much can I expect for my last revision 14" iBook (http://support.apple.com/specs/ibook/iBook_G4_Mid_2005.html)

-1.42ghz G4
-1gig ram
-60GB HD
-802.11g
-bluetooth 2.0
-ati mobility 9550
-superdrive
-scrolling trackpad

In good shape, no issues. New battery in April. Comes with original install DVD's, OS X 10.4, iLife 06, mini-dvi to vga, power adapter, original accessories, documentation but no box.

Also, feeler on an original iSight, in mint condition. Firewire, no box. All clips.

I'd say $500 max because you can get a first revision Macbook for $650 easy these days.

This is semi-unrelated, but can anyone explain to me why the iSights still go for so much nowadays? It was $150 when I bought it, and I've heard from multiple sources that they still go for around the same price now (3+ years later)??

Yup. They'll go down eventually, but it's similar to the original Airport cards. When Apple discontinued them, within about a month the price was up to around $150-200 on auction sites. They're back down to reasonable rates now, but it took a couple years. As long as there is current hardware that can make use of it (G3 ibooks and early G4 towers no longer being supported under Leopard has a lot to do with the price drop on Airport cards), a discontinued part will be desired by many.
