Am I getting a good deal?

[Bjerre]

I have been talking to a friend about buying his iMac G4, and we came up with a price, but I really do not know if it is a god deal. Tell me what you think, cause tomorrow is the only day I can get it.

The iMac is this one:

It has also been upgraded to 1 GB of ram, and a little larger Hard Drive.

The final price: US$175

Good deal?

The price is right 😀. I don't know if it counts as "god deal," but I'd buy it. The question is, will you be satisfied with it? You don't know if you'll be able to get the same price selling a year from now, or if you'll sell it at all. If you have the money, you might want a mini instead.

Otherwise, if there's nothing wrong with the machine, it's a perfectly good mac. (You might want to stick to Tiger or Panther as your operating system though).
