Used/Refurbished PowerBooks?

[Lobos]

I'm looking to purchase a 15" PowerBook (1.25+) and am wondering if anyone knows a good places to purchase refurbished or used PowerBooks? Are there reliable sources besides the official Apple refurbished store? What about used?

Thanks!

my frinds dad bought a used PB from Small Dog a couple years ago. Got a fairly good price and they give you a 1 year warranty too.

There's also PowerMax, but I find their prices to be ridiculously high compared to Apple's Certified. For example, for $1779 you get this from PowerMax:

Aluminum PowerBook G4/1.25 GHz
512 MB of RAM
80 GB internal drive
internal Combo Drive
internal 56k modem
Airport
15.2" TFT Display
Used Mac with 90 day warranty
OS CD is not included

But from Apple's Certified section, for $1799 you get this:

PowerBook G4 1.5GHz
512MB RAM
80GB HDD
SuperDrive
AP Extreme
15.2" TFT Display
1 year warranty
Tiger on DVD

And of course, there's also eBay.

Umm, Lobos, where do you live? I'm guessing the States (you lot never specify 😉 ), am I right?

You're local reseller can be very helpful, have you given them a try?
