Hello, I'd been searching off and on for a PowerBook G4 12" for college and for when I go out. I want one computer to stay at home, so I don't have to stop everything when I want to take my computer out and about. While the MacBook Pro is pretty light, the PowerBook G4 would be a lot more portable and easier to take around. Anyway, an oportunity may arise in June where I can get the following PowerBook G4 for between $250-300:
1.33GHz PPC G4
1.25GB RAM
80GB HDD
12" screen
Combo drive
Airport Extreme
Very good cosmetic condition

I haven't been keeping up on the retail value of PowerBooks, but this looks like a good deal to me, especially for around $300. I know that the offer is legitimate as well so there are no worries about that. What do these PowerBooks typically go for?

They usually are around 700 depending on condition. That would be a very good deal. Almost too good..

The 1.33 is the one before the last one (1.5) and that sounds like a good deal. I got a 1.0 for $450 so I guess he could get $500+ for it on the open market - so whether you keep that quiet from him is up to you..
