PowerBook 1400cs/117 from eBay
Dead battery. Attempting to run Battery Recondition results in funky sounds and colors on the screen until I unplug the machine.
Unfortunately the seller stiffed me. I won the item for $6.17. I only bid because he is located in Houston and told me I could pick up the item. After the auction ends he decides that there is a "$5 pick up fee" and I told him that was crap and asked him why he needs $5 to do absolutely nothing except answer the door and give me a PowerBook. Then he says "Forget it. NO LOCAL PICKUP. YOU MUST HAVE IT SHIPPED" and I wind up paying the damn $14.99 to have it shipped 15 or so miles across town.
So I paid more for it than I would have liked. I was going to get a 520c parts machine from him for only $6 or so but I refused because of his antics.
I've got my eye now on a pair of 1xx PowerBooks from another Houston seller for $9.99. Just waiting to see if they'll do local pickup.
