(Not 68k) iMac G4 and Sun Blade 100 from Craigslist.

I've been looking for an iLamp for some time, but they're always too expensive.

Well, finally got one, and it's the exact model I've been hoping for. The 800 MHz 17" iLamp that can still boot OS 9. All stock, 80 GB hard drive, 256 MB RAM (I'll be hunting for a 512 MB PC-133 SO-DIMM immediately,) SuperDrive, complete with original white Apple Pro Keyboard, Pro Mouse, and digital 'globe' speakers. One stuck (blue) pixel, but I'll see if I can massage that into functionality. (With the default OS X blue background, you cannot see it at all. It's only visible on a black background.)

Came with 10.4.11 loaded, along with a minimal-to-run-Classic 9.2.2 folder. I'm hoping to find a set of original restore discs somewhere, I'd like to get this puppy back to stock. (I'll likely partition the drive, and have one partition restored to original, and another with 10.4.)

Also finally added a Sun machine to my collection. A relatively recent-vintage SunBlade 100 (Sun used 'Blade' to refer to slimline workstations, not what we now call blade servers.) It'll be nice because it's new enough to run my company's software on it.

 
Nice score! Hope you got a good deal on the Blade. Anything that says Sun on the case seems to be much more expensive than the specs warrant.
