Thats lucky! The seller who I bought my Quad from had it listed as a Mac Pro G5, so no one looked at it. I bought it since the spec label said it was a Quad, and also that it had the AP/BT combo. It turned out to be a prototype, so for $75 I think I did pretty good lol
And the $1000 17" PowerBook

I would go for the iMac G3 - definitely a bargain for 350 Rupias!
(Shipping certainly RM 10.000...

Sadly this is a case of Buyer beware. Dont take that incorrectly. I am in no way accepting the misleading information the seller has provided, nor am i supporting the seller because he clearly knows what he/she is selling. Granted this machine does seem to be upgraded but at least he has put in the G4 fact that it is a G4. Perhaps the seller isnt fully aware its a Power Macintosh, or perhaps like many these days he is trying to take people for a ride. Either way i find its pointless when someone posts and advert and then does not reply.
Moral of the story, When purchasing an item, do your homework. Dont believe the seller knows everything. If you do the homework and know a thing or two on the device, say this "Mac Pro G4" you will know what youre purchasing as well as what its pros/cons are.
Some will argue with me but i think $150 is still a beit steep despite this machine has been upgraded. Or at least it appears so, granted i do not see a CPU speed specification.
Personally i believe apple released the most beautiful machines in the PPC era but despite this, these machines unlike some fans here no longer fit my needs and its a shame im only 20 and was introduced late into this world. I still keep and collect PPC macs if for free/very low cost as for myself i need a minimum of a Core 2 Duo machine.
Is there a 'Good Apple' Craigslist thread? The intention being a place to share PowerPC finds with other forum users?
No, but feel free to make one. I'm not sure if that's allowed since there is the marketplace, but I think it's ok as long as you aren't posting your own sales.
Here's a fun one...$300 bucks for a DP 2?!?! NUTS!
What's even better...the demands! I would love to reply to folks like this and tear in...One could buy a brand new in box apple wired keyboard for like 50 bucks. What a complete rip off:
Also, a personal rant. I can't stand folks that don't list any technical specs of the machine. I always make sure to note everything from processor, video card to hard drives. If you're lazy, at least point to every mac or something.

Niagara Falls, ON - lets see at today's currency rate $250 CDN = $177.90 US. Still too much . . . . .
I love the "Historic stock CLEARANCE" comment. Hope I can remember that when I decide to sell my G5 stock - no wait, make that "Historic stock"

Hahaha, good grief.
Go ahead make fun of our dollar, I just purchased a $4.25 unrelated item from the USA.
after conversion My paypal was dinged for just under $25 CA.
But like many other items, I wanted it, so what the hell.
Now here's a Mac I bet nobody has...... It's a Mac Boob!
I'm rather intrigued how anyone could make such a silly typing error, as on a QWERTY keyboard and also AZERTY the 'B' key is certainly not next to the 'K'.
No specs given nor indication of price, open to offers! How much do you pay for yours boobs......?
