G3 'Clamshell' iBooks

Just got another one in the mail! Hard drive was drilled through but the board is ok. I think it’s salvageable. 466mhz.

I have only owned Snow iBooks. Would love to have a clamshell, but they are scarce on eBay. And I'm not gonna buy a polka-dot abomination from that reseller on eBay...

I’ve got plenty of them . I’m not really looking to collect them, just save them from the trash. Or polka dots.

The graphite lives!

I know that the price of Clamshells differ depending on continent and particular country, but what's the typical price you've been seeing and paying for these - apart from the KeyLime?

I try to pay about $30-50 (plus shipping) and sell them in the $120 range. Excluding the key lime, which sold yesterday.

The graphite one is on eBay for $120 (the battery actually works too!) but the mods probably wouldn’t appreciate me putting links.

Update: the graphite one sold quick!

Locally (a major Canadian city), the graphite 466 models have been ranging anywhere between about $70 and $180. There was recently a blueberry for an elevated price (around $200, as memory serves), and I don't have any idea if that one got sold. Key limes almost never show up, and tangerines aren't common these days, either.

Congrat for your collection. Two KeyLimes 😱
It took some time to have one of each too...
My KeyLime is a 366 :/ had to exchange the original dead modo.
Hardest to find for was a original Graphite, still have to replace the cd reader though.

I had a second generation graphite, and I just don't love the opaque white egg-shell casings they used to replace the textured clear plastics. I sold it while I patiently wait until I can find a first-gen graphite.

According to the Apple in China book, the tangerine color was a major flop for the iMac line. I, however, absolutely love my tangerine iMac DV, tangerine iBook, and orange M4 iMac.
