Okay, so, my family is a hardcore mac family. At last count we've got: a G4 433mhz tower, a 1ghz ibook, an old apple ibook, a 833mhz imac, an old imac DV, and old power pc performa 6300, an LCII and one of the apple boxes...i think thats all. 8 macs. We use the new ibook, the g4 tower and both the imacs...sort of. But the rest of the macs are sitting in our basement, probably rotting. I checked prices for the imac dv on ebay, and its under 200 for a fully loaded mint condition with panthar. So how the hell do I get rid of those computers, short of taking them out into the dumpster?

Give me the specs on this machine (RAM, HD, Color, Condition, etc) and how much you want for it.

Welll....
Its a Graphite iMac
OS9.1
G3 400mhz
12.75 gigs of actual space. I believe 9.3 gigs are left.
128 SDRAM
w/ a DVD player and best of all, a AtiRage126k graphics card. Comes complete with Snood, Rainbow Six Demo, Gameranger, iTunes(with various songs) Rogue Spear, etc etc. I think appleworks unfortunatly got deleted somehow.
The keyboard is not in such good shape. Well, its missing the space key. The mouse is the standard iMac mouse, and works fine.
As to its condition, I would say that it is in fairly good shape. It was originally my brothers computer at boarding school. He graduated, and its been kicking around my house ever since.
I could try and load panthar onto it(tho it would be slightly illegal)

As to the price, I don't suppose I can ask that much, so..$150 is an optimistic price i suppose. So around there...

Erm...this may have to be put on hold, because I am not sure I can find the system cds

I'd hardly consider that old of a machine to be worth 300, but what's 300 to GhostSniper anyway?

I assume he just wants it so he can chat with his GR friends while he's at work, maybe.

Actually, you are quite right there.  I have been looking for an old iMac to sit in my office at work so I can run GameRanger....not to play games, but just to talk to everybody on.

Give the old macs away to someone who just uses a computer for word processing.

Well, the only thing that bothers me about that one you have is that it is not free of cosmetic defects (I practically treat my Macs like idols....polishing them and loving over them like children Smiley ).  That keyboard doesn't sound too spiffy.  I can get a similar system off of eBay in perfect cosmetic shape for about the same price.

Soooo,

Did you say you also have a newer iMac?

I'll pay S&H to take it off your hands, plus maybe $50 or so. Think about it.. I'l have to buy a new keyboard, more ram, system CD's are missing (though I have a iMac exactly like that, so I've got copies), and it's OS9 so I can't really play anything on it.

$50 plus I'll pay shipping.

Tell me about the old iBook.

Ghost, I'll trade you this iMac, some cash or other things for your current G5 once you upgrade. with this one, you can run GhR at work, and AA as well.

Runs like a dream, like new. No defects other than the fact that my original mouse broke so I couldn't include one of those.

Well, then I seriously hope you replaced it with another Apple One-Button mouse.  Cause if it don't have an Apple Logo on it, it doesn't go on my desk.

No, what I'm saying is, it's not an Apple mouse, I might have another lying around the house from older G4's or if you wanted to get a replacement.

If you have anymore questions (if you are even interested) PM me on here or AIM, I'll be on.

OMG....I think I'm going to be sick.  Did I just read that you bought a MICROSOFT mouse for a MACINTOSH???

Dude, you should have your scrotum nailed to a tree stump, honey poured all over your dick and balls, and be left there for the fucking ants to eat you alive.

Peace.

Ghost, I was trying to be at least semi-professional, but I guess you don't care.

Whatever.
