Made a major purchase that I wanted ever since I first heard about the 550c from the Cult of Mac book years ago -
I picked up a Powerbook 550c with the box and manuals for a grayscale 520 for $350 shipped from Japan.
It had some minor cosmetic damage to the screen from a leaking PRAM battery ("vinegar syndrome"), unfortunately, but otherwise is in pretty great shape! Already upgraded it to 40MB of RAM and the original 750 MB HD works great.
