On May 11th, I posted the following:
I have a iBook G4 12inch Spece Here which I would like to sell. There are a couple of things wrong with it.
-The battery seems to go quickly. It should be three hours life but it feels more like two. When full it says 94% which I don’t think is a good thing.
-The airport card is dead. If I turn it on, I kernel panic instantly and have to shut down. Till there is a replacement airport card, it will need to be plugged in to use the net.
-Turning it on is an issue. Sometimes, when I turn the machine on, nothing happens. I can hear it ticking slightly but no light and no little Apple symbol. I have to turn it on and off again to get it to “turn over”. 60% of the time though, it turns on like normal. I have been informed that a possible fix for this problem is to reinstall OSX. I have the disc somewhere and I am going to do this reinstall this week and see if it rememdies the problem.
Other than that, it works beautifully. With all that, I have a friend that is willing to buy it for £150.00. Now, tell me, am I short changing myself or am I ripping him off?
Most of the comments from that post, a few people said it would be a reasonable amount to offer to sell such a machine.
The unfortunate thing is that after coming around last night to have a look at it, he decided that he didn't want to buy it.
Shit.
So, I am putting it out there to you lot first. Would any of you be interested in taking it off my hands or know anyone that would? With it's faults, it could be sold for just parts but it does to an extent work and if I wasnt't absolutely desperate for the money, I probably wouldn't be selling it but I was kinda banking on that cash and I need to sell it.
Please feel free to repost this on your journals etc and or let me know if you are interested. I will even throw in a laptop bag -click here for a pic but the one I have is Orange and Black I have for this for the price. The bag is in perfect condition as I have barely used it.
If I don't get any interest by Sunday, I will be listing it on Ebay which I will probably post a link to here anyway.
Help?
