Need a new PowerBook power adapter...and don't want to pay $80 for it.

[JW008]

So I officially can't find my PowerBook G4 power adpater...and I don't want to pay $80 for a new adapter, especially since I'm planning on selling the PowerBook soon if the new form factors for the MacBooks materialize.

Any suggestions on places to look for them? I've seen the cheapo ones on eBay for like $30. Has anyone tried those? Does anyone have a link to somewhere much cheaper than Apple sells them?

Get a third party one, eBay ones would be fine or there are plenty of other places that sell them.

I appreciate the offer, but I'll just buy a cheapo one off eBay--I'm looking to get a new laptop soon anyway. Thanks, though!

I've purchased more than one off eBay for various models (including a PowerBook G4) and they have all been fine, they're not like cheapo headphones or anything lol
