PBG4 12" w/ bad screen! Is it worth buying?

[Mr. Clean]

I know someone that has a G4PB 12" with a broken screen, do you guys think it is worth buying, and how much do you think it is worth?

I have an old PB G4 1 Ghz 15" with a cracked screen. I looked around for replacements and the minimum I found was about $300 for the screen.

You can find used Powerbooks for about the same price.

So it's really up to you.

I'd say it's not worth a whole lot. Depends on what you want to use it for. Personally, I'd kind of like one to play around with, but it wouldn't be worth over about $75 to me. It's likely worth more to other people, but that's my personal opinion.

If it was me I don't think that I would pay any more than $100 but even then I'm not sure I would go for it.

Thanks guys, that will help me make up my mind. I didn't think is was worth much.

Depends on the condition of the pb and the specs too. If it was a 1.5, a screen might be worth it, if the rest of the laptop was in good condition as well. 1.33 might be pushing it.
