Buying from ebay?

[gadgetgirl85]

To satisfy my mac fetish im thinking of buying something very cheap off ebay. What would you recommend?

Certainly not cheap, but this is one ultimate mac fetish item.

We used to work on those at school when I was in year 1 LOL. Cheaper

Look around alittle. I saw a 700 MHZ imac g4 go for 255 + shipping, which is a pretty good deal on a sweet machine. I've been watching ebay too trying to find a steal on a nice apple laptop.

Post a link to the item.

I was thinking maybe an Imac. Though I did have an imac a few years ago and it was absolute trash. My friend later told me it wasn't the best model. So ive seen a couple. The ones without keyboards and mice...will PC ones work in them?

why dont you get a mac mini?

 

[gadgetgirl85]

I would LOVE a mac mini dont get me wrong. But I am looking in more a couple of hundred dollar price range. Mac mini is a bit too much for me Plus I dont have a spare screen!

Go for a wallstreet or lombard Powerbook G3...they're cool. Lombard has USB, so I would go for that.

I saw Emacs (Think thats what they are called) Are those ok? or wont use USB

i would reccommend ebay a lot. i love apple and i did see that vintage "slice" colored one the other day. but anyway... i bought an imac G3 for $25 about a month ago and even though i havnt had time to install OS X yet, i am planning to within the week wen i get the disks i want. but for OS 9, the 350Mhz G3 is rather speedy. i would recommend probably at least a 500Mhz G3. the next best value is probably a G3 ibook.

Remember that an eMac will absolutely kill you on the shipping charges.
Why don't you look for castoff locally? Schools that are upgrading, government surplus sales, etc?
