I've been looking to buy one for a while so keep checking eBay, dont want to spend too much if its not worth it. As for the model I'm not sure, either 15" or 17" because it's rare to find 20" on there.
 
My niece sold a 15" in December on ebay for $75. It was basically stock except for the 768mb of ram & OSX 10.3 that went with it.....not really a bad price for a perfectly good computer that can still do basic things for most people.....

The bad part, for the buyer, was the shipping.....which amounted to about $49 IIRC. With proper packing, it weighed almost 30lbs and was shipped from WV to Colorado via priority mail....

so you may wanna consider that when looking at the prices :D

Thanks well I'm in the uk and most sellers want at least £100, not sure if that's reasonable or not. Also unless near I cannot collect the item so i have to look at the ones that offer shipping. I could always arrange my own courier I suppose, they don't seem to cost too much.
