a great deal for those in DC!

well, I think so, anyway.

$50 for a dual G4 tower 450 mhz, 128 RAM, no OS.
$20 for a 350-450 tower mhz G3, 128 RAM, no OS.

Not that i need an older tower, but I think $50 for a dual G4 is pretty fantastic.

Very nice indeed I would buy the 50 dollar one if I would live in DC

I emailed them, but i am skeptical. A dual G4 should go for at least $300.

I actually think it's legit. Sounds like a graphics shop upgrading or something. You can find some awesome deals when schools and businesses upgrade. They just want to get these things out the door and get a few bucks back.

And there's no OS, warranty, peripherals, or discs. Also, $50 is low, but $300 is quite high. you could get a G4 mini that would smoke these for that much. I think about $150-200 is what they're really worth.

the only problem is that i am gonna be at the beach the week they are selling them, so i will have to get my dad or somebody to pick one up for me...

 

[KingYaba]

if only I still lived there...

 

[dmw007]

$50 for a dual Power Mac G4! At that price I would pick one (or two) up!

 

[xfiftyfour]

if i lived in the area, i'd pick 'em all up and then sell 'em for 100 a piece. at 100 you figure people will still buy them because it's still pretty cheap, and then you'll have just doubled your money..!

 

[ironic23]

oh man. what a deal. anyone picking them up? that's a real steal.

 

[p0intblank]

Man, I would take one in a heartbeat if I lived in DC! But nooo, I'm in Jersey.

 

[ricgnzlzcr]

I emailed them. I hope to get a reply back so I can pick one up. I live 15 mins from DC so this is great if its true

 

[mark!]

OMG ANYONE IN THIS AREA NEEDS TO BUY THIS AND I WILL BUY IT OFF OF YOU SO THAT THEY CAN SHIP IT THIS WAY. OMG. OMG. I NEED TO GO THERE ASAP. RIGHT NOW! OMG!


omgG0ZRZ!

could you please post back and let us know what they say? My feeling is it's legit, but IMO their reply will make it clear one way or the other.

 

[ricgnzlzcr]

They haven't emailed me back at all. Seems to not be the real deal for the moment. I hope I get something since I want to play around with a powermac G4

I still haven't received an email and I actually live in DC

 

[ricgnzlzcr]

I re-emailed and hoping for the best. Hey steamboat, if you can't get someone to send you the G4 and I don't get an email, can I take your ticket to goodness? Haha, worth trying

 

[QCassidy352]

I wonder if they got a big response to this. Now I kinda want one... I'll see if I get a response...

 

[ricgnzlzcr]

Alright, it seems I got an email back. I'm excited. I will pick one up whenever they send me the email to RSVP.

I might be able to get a friend (who likes windows, but is interested in macs) to buy one for me and one for himself.

Goodluck, I'll be getting myself one too! I hope that they're not sending these emails to everyone so that it's not a big line of people fighting for 30 macs. Since they're asking for RSVP I guess we're first on the list and if we don't respond they'll move on to the next email

 

[steamboat26]

I just saw that they took down the craigslist post, i guess too many people were interested. I really hope i get one of the computers, specifically a G4.
