What is the cheapest place i could buy an ibook g3?
 
Check out www.craigslist.org/

Check out www.craigslist.org but be sure to read their policy. They do not offer the same level of buyer protection as ebay by a long shot. But I've seen some very good prices for ibooks. Lower than ebay.
 
thanks, but i am looking for stores(ex. powermac.com, etc)

at least in the UK i think eBay is very often very expensive, i've seen people pay more for second hand stuff that for the same article new (not for macs but for photo equipment)

I saw fairly cheap ($500 for 800mHz) G3 iBooks on www.macofalltrades.com, but I have no idea if it is a reputable site. I'd look on eBay.

I ordered a dual 533MHz G4 tower from them a year ago, and it came specc'd better than ordered (512MB RAM instead of 256 as listed, Radeon 7500 instead of GeForce2MX as listed, a PCI SCSI card was included that I didn't order). The price was better other resellers.

They manage to keep prices low by having a small staff (I seriously think it's just a couple guys, or at least that's the impression I got dealing with them), but so far I haven't heard anything really negative about them.

Personally I don't trust ebay, but it's definitely the place with the best deals - as well as bad deals and scams. To be fair a lot of people have good luck shopping on ebay - but the resellers usually are better about refunds, guarantees etc.
