Cowboom has PB 12" 1.5ghz's for $220

Just a quick heads up:

I'm not sure what the going price for 12" PB's these days is, but $220 seems pretty reasonable as long as they're in decent shape. Throw in a $30 1gb stick of RAM and you've got yourself a great classic machine.

What's with the triple redirect when I click that link?? Do you have the URL masked to a "pay per click" deal?

 

[coupdetat]

Nope, I see no such redirect. Copy-paste the link if you are paranoid

[edit] and if I had a pay-per-click deal, posting in a PPC forum would be pretty much the lowest-yield idea ever.

I was trying to believe that noone would ever do that The URL would keep switching to completely different websites, then finally land on the PB page. Sorry to crap on your thread

Link works fine for me. I think Mr. Burnout has a sketchy computer.

Link also works fine for me... I'm on Camino btw. If that would make a sense.

The link redirects twice when I click on it using the iPad.

I'm using Chrome and it's fine for me, anyways, back to topic?

I was interested in this for the sheer cheapness of a classic compact laptop, but I got curious and gravitated towards my favorite G4 of all time... I was shocked with my find.

$860 for an iMac G4? I had better sell mine!!! Albeit that's the top of the line, but that's about $650 too much.

Where does this site get their prices? Simply based off supply and demand? Strange that PowerBook is so low and that iMac is so off-the-charts insane. I know they're a legit site, but wow.

I recently sold an iMac G5 (20" 1.8GHz 1GB RAM 160GB HD) for a client for $230. To be fair the G4 iMac is actually more in demand but $860 is insane. Never been an all in one guy.

I saw a person asking 1600 for an iMac G4 on CL maybe a year or more ago. I couldn't believe it.

Clicked that link and got it much cheaper Free shipping too. The $1200+ iBook made me laugh so I don't know how legit this site really is?

Guess someone else bought it? It's not there anymore

Bummer! I'm not really an iMac kinda guy, but that was tempting (it was there when I looked earlier today). It would have looked very nice in my kitchen between the two lightsabers mounted on the wall.

The 1.5GHz PB G4 for $220 is also very tempting. My PB 1400c, to be honest, is starting to feel a little dated.

Haha. I think that 1400c was dated back in 2001

Always wanted a 3400c for nostalgic reasons. Wanted one back in the mid-90s but didn't have the $3500 as I was in 4th grade haha. Sure did mow a lot of lawns that summer to try to save up for one.

Buying a used Mac from a reseller is a dicey proposition. Occasionally they sell at fair prices but usually they ask a lot more than private sellers on ebay.

Considering that Windows Netbooks with new (much more powerful) Atom CPUs can be had for $200, even the popular 12" Powerbooks should be able to be had pretty cheaply these days.
