51 dollar G4

I has it:

It's probably going to cost at least as much again to ship it from there to here but it means the project is well and truly under way

Good deal!

I would have thought they would have listed shipping costs. At least there's a place for it on the US site.

There's a space for it on ebay.au as well. Some people use it, some don't. Some list shipping costs in the body of the auction, some don't. I usually ask for a total whenever I buy something, if only to buy me a little time to get the funds together

51 AUD, how much is that in real money?

 

[LSD]

You mean Euros?

Hi LSD - well done on the Gigabit/DA !

I snagged a G4 350 and G4 400 from him for AU$21 each !!!

Also got two G3 400 Imacs that I should be able to combine into one working machine for AU$31 total.

His brief listings put people off I think.

Regards,

Hey good score. I've got one too I'm building up as soon as my new CPU arrives from the US. Let's compare notes.

I think you'll have an easier time with yours than I'll have with mine. You have a genuine DA CPU module which will just be a drop-in replacement whereas I have a QS one which requires splicing in 12V (and quite possibly modification of the HS).

My 1GHz ti will still spank the lot of ya!

Seriously though I would love to have a quicksilver. I just don't like the look of MDD's. I wonder I could transplant the guts of an MDD into a QS case.

/runs to e-bay

Too broke to actually buy anything. If I wasn't facing foreclosure ATM though...

You mean Euros?

and that is supposed to be real money ?

I got the shipping quote this morning: AUD$67. It's costing me AUD$16 more to ship it over than I paid for it

You should get shipping quotes before you buy stuff. It's usually shipping that kills an otherwise sweet deal.

I knew it was going to cost an arm and a leg to get it over here to begin with. However, even at AUD$118 total, that's still cheaper than trying to buy it locally.

$au = ~ $0.80 us

 

[LSD]

w00t!

Got an email from the seller this morning telling me that it's been posted. With any luck it'll be here by the end of the week!

yea my friend somehow got a DA G4 466mhz for $70, $50 + $30 shipping off of ebay. and normaly they sell all day long for over $100. prolly getting lower in price cause they are not going to be supported in leopard.

 

[Temetka]

Still they make a great Tiger box though...
