Feeler: Need opinions on value of 12" Powerbook G4 last revision

EHUnlucky7x9@ao · Aug 23, 2006, 07:57 PM

Hey guys,

I wanted to have everyone's input on the value of a 12" Powerbook G4. It's the last model made. It has the 1.5Ghz G4 processor, 512 ram, 80gb HD, Airport extreme, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, nVidia Go5200, sudden motion sensor. I bought it in January of 2006 and I have 3 years Applecare warranty on the machine. Sadly i bought it a month before i knew the macbook pros came out.

Can anyone give me a ballpark area as to what to I should expect this machine should get me if i sell it?

I do have all the original stuff and the laptop is in like new condition with no problems at all. The battery still hold a full charge and there are no nicks and scratches on the machine.

Let me know! Thanks

I got $825 out of my 1.33GHz 12" PB Combo Bluetooth AE 80GB 512MB RAM. It had 2 months left on its 1 year warranty and could have been extended for 2 more years (bought it refurbished last October). I listed it on Craigslist as a local sale only. It took 2 months to sale but it was worth it. No possibility of getting ripped off by eBay or Paypal. The guy was willing to pay more since it was something he could actually see and use before buying. And I wasn't ripping him off as he knew about the MacBooks and such and also has a 15" AluPB (just wanted something lighter and smaller to travel with and record audio on). Plus I had everything except the original box.
If you are not in a hurry to sell it you may try that route.
