That's a pretty good deal, I would buy it if I was you. Suggest you offer him the $50 anyways!

$50 is an ok price for that.

Okay Thanks I was just making sure it was a good deal I kinda thought it was I can't wait to get it now I just contacted the guy and he still has it

Nah not a very good deal IMO. It's a little bit overpriced but not very bad. You can find better. I once found 3 Mac Mini G4s for $25 or something like that.

Where? I paid something like $20 for my 1.25 Mac mini G4+power adapter and consider that to be an excellent deal. $50 is ok.

eBay.

Maybe I should've posted it here... oh well.

I think I found the listing:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/A299-LOT-OF...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

It was an auction and the price went up. About $20 per mini for the ending bid.

No power adapters of course, which will up the price to around $30-$40 per mini. Seems appropriate for a bulk price.

Eh seems like that listing wasn't as good as I thought. When I saw it the price was lower but it went up because it was an auction.

So which was it, $25 or just something like that which would be...?
I know I'd have no trouble remembering a super price on 3 minis.

-what do you want to use it for?

-if you set on a ppc version,your better off with the 1.33 or 1.5GHz ver (ati 9200 64mb ver 32mb...also 5400 rpm harddrives)

-if your not set on having to have a ppc version you could get a Intel 1.83/2.00GHz core 2 duo for fairly cheap,and they would be way faster then the ppc ones. (one on my local craigslist for $80)

I am using it for checking emails and such basic web browsing I checked my local craigs list and it was 220$ for a mac mini with early intel lol ( and that was the cheapest one )
