What's a 15" iMac G4 worth?

[stevep]

Would $350.00 be reasonable? Includes original disks, KB and mouse that have not been used. :-/

Unless it's the last 15" model (1GHz CPU, USB2.0) and has a RAM upgrade, it'd be hard say $350 is a good price. If you're the seller and you can get $350 for it, that's great. But if you're a buyer, or if you're an owner and you're trying to figure out how to price it, I'd say $300 max unless it's got unusual upgrades or extras. For an older 15" model I'd say $250 is more realistic.

I looked at the value of mine on fleabay and decided that, as I bought mine new, it was worth more to me as an alarm clock and music player and sexy early 21st century design icon than it was to someone else.

I would say that is a fairly reasonable price, but it really depends on what the Canadian market is like for these. The specs are good enough to run Tiger and even Leopard, (with a hack), which is good if someone's looking for a cheap starter system. The fact that the KB and mouse are unused is a great bonus as many second-hand machines have peripherals that have been thrashed like a hire car.

I should have this iMac this week, possibly with the original speakers too! I appreciate the feedback. I'll let you all know how it goes....

 

[MacMan]

Oh, for some reason I was under the impression that you were the seller! Sounds like a good deal though, you won't be disappointed!

 

[stevep]

Well, I now have this iMac home with me. Works great, needs some cleaning as it comes from a smokers home (yuk). But at least now I have one of each size screen! Talk about obsessive....

 

[bluekatt]

yes you are ;p

stil if you like them

i do like them but they are too expensive where i live for the specs on offer

a 800 mhz is stil in the 300 400 range here let alone the higher ones

800mhz is going to be worth a bit more than 700mhz and not just for the CPU speed. The 700mhz was the stripped down model and the 800mhz was the upgraded model with Superdrive and other extras.

 

[bluekatt]

the 700 isnt much cheaper

What products are safe for cleaning the case? The book that comes with it says refer to Mac Help but I am unable to find any info there on the subject.
