Quote for 12" PowerBook G4

[gintasr]

Hey guys, I just need some help figuring out how much i can get for my 12" PowerBook G4. I bought it at the end of November for $1500. The computer has 1.5Ghz processor, 512MB RAM, OS X 10.4 Tiger, and a SuperDrive. Still 10 months of apple warrenty on it.

I want to get rid of it because its not nearly as cool as PC's are.. I feel very limited with it for what I have to do.

Please give me a quote... I was thinking $1200 would be more than reasonable.

If anybody is interested I'll sell on here too rather than eBay... It will be available for sale Jan 9th 2006.

nov of this year?

also, if you want to sell, you might want to try the fs/t forums. just be warned though, you cant post links to ebay auctions or things like that.

 

[gintasr]

Yes, Nov. 2005.

I want to see what people would be willing to pay. Im puting it up for sale on the 9th of january.

1200 seems reasonable

 

[gintasr]

Good, just wanted advice. That's what I'll put it up for staring Jan 9, 2006.

On Jan 9th, it might not be worth 1200

The Mactels may even be announced earlier than that at CES.

Will the Mactel's be PowerBooks? I heard the PowerBooks wont be out until around June-July. How much of a depreciation can I expect?

 

[HermDogg]

No one really knows what the depreciation will be, as there's really no precedent. No one really knows what they're bringing out, though laptops seem to be the consensus. No one really knows whether it's going to be Power or i-Books. Even if the is the PowerBooks, most people will probably be reluctant to switch to the Mactels until the second revision at least.

I've put the thing up for sale for $1200 + $30 shipping. It's also on ebay you can seach my id for it: HaGintas.

Just a note, I'm home for winter vacation from college right now and I only have my laptop and ac adapter. I will be back at school on 1/9/06 and will be able to ship item with all accessories, manuals, and software.
