I am on the other side of the United States, in fact. xD I have noticed that the price for one of these has gone down on eBay recently. Sure, there is still a demand for them, but they are sadly REALLY showing their age by now. Granted, I still enjoy using one. Two years ago, you could be lucky to get one for under the average $100 price tag. Now I see them going for an average of $50. I actually bought one in 2012 but was not pleased with the condition after what I had paid. I ended up returning it, but I later got two from a person for free. (both 12-inch, 800MHz and 1.07GHz).
Reminds me of the guy in the MR marketplace a while back who was under the impression that his 2.7GHz G5 with 4GB RAM was worth... $1000. He also had a 30" ACD listed for $1500. When I told him he was overvaluing by about 60% his response was "prices are different in the UK". Some people really do have no clue...
Where there is an apple logo, there is a group of sellers who believe that it is worth big money, even though it may not be.
Another listing I came across that made me laugh. Pshhhh iMac G4 from 2006

Oh, don't forget to buy a Core Duo MacBook from 2006, only asking $300

If that expired

That guy sells a lot of old stuff for lots of money since 2002

I wonder if he ever sold anything
I live in Milwaukee, and I can back this person up. The craigslist for our area is generally terrible, with only a good find every couple of months or so. *sigh* If only more people wanted to get rid of PPC macs...
Look at this, these, just one hell of a deal!!!

Yeah thats the same guy (samsonbible) who posted the $4,000 iBook

Something's fishy...
My favourite bit is the $60 shipping charge to the UK for that little package. Bargain.
I just found this in my local area... would be very tempted but I wouldn't know what to do with it lol

You should jump on that. There are quite a few people here who are big fans of TI Books and would kill for it. You can't go wrong for $25. Having the original packaging is sweet.
Wow... You've got some sketchy folks on your nearby Craigslist...

It is lower spec but looks clean and comes with a tidy looking box. I wouldn't hesitate for $25 if you have the room to store it. In a couple of years you will easily make your money back and some more.
I envy all of you. I've been wanting an iMac G4 for YEARS, but it's impossible to get one for less than ~250$ (15" model, without box or accessories), or 300$ for a 17" panoramic model. The 20" model is about 350-400$ easily without box, so the prices you call 'ridiculous' are only slightly above average here.
Obviously, I don't live in the US. If someone knows where to buy PowerPC macs at US prices outside the US, please contact me :roll eyes:
PS: 25$ for a working TiBook in its box. I'm one of those who would kill for it.

to be honest, I would have been most interested in the PM G4 and stripping the G5s for HDs, mounts, Graphics Cards and ODDs. I already have enough Cinema Displays.
If anyone is interested in a boxed TiBook, I have a feeling this one is going to go cheap.

Local pawn shop place (Cash Converters) had a G5 Powermac. Because it looks just like the recently outgoing Mac Pros, they wanted £500...
That was six months ago. I presume they had given the guy who sold it to them a pretty penny, as it's only just gone down to £250, and they won't take any offers.
