Best place to find a cheap Powerbook

[mikes70mustang]

Ive already googled this subject and i seem to always end up with ridiculous sites trying to sell G4s for like 900 or 1000 bucks. Im looking for a PB G4 for my mom, i just need one that works and is super cheap. She has a sad lil dell that has win98 still and its borderline useless. All she needs it for is internet, typing, and various low key things. My friend has a G4 and it still works great, and i thought it would be nice not having to fix her dell when she gets yet another virus.

How much?

What would be a reasonable price in your opinion? I have a Rev. A aluminum PowerBook G4 (1.25GHZ, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD) that still works like a charm. I just ordered my 17" Unibody and might be interested in selling my old machine.

Found a used computer place that was selling off lease g4 ibooks for $245, including airport express and case for my 70+ year old Dad. Having to deal with Dad's occasional Mac questions far outweighs the twice yearly day long ordeal of having to reinstall windows on my old destop.

I don't know about you guys but I find all my cheap stuff from this blog at http://infoboxunlimited.com/Cheap

There might be a cheap powerbook there, just trying to help.

thanks, i know this is probably a challenging thread, since apple and cheap dont go together. and those that have an old mac think they have gold, so therefore not many good deals.
