That's a nice find. I think $5 is an OK price, especially if you really want the Mac and will get lots of enjoyment out of it. Think of all the other things in life that cost $5. Ask yourself if you would trade your Macintosh Classic for any of those items? If the answer is no, then you did not pay too much.As to the Colour Classic G4, ask about it. Many times, people put "holds" on stuff and never come to pick it up. It might have been sitting there for weeks. Worst thing that can happen is that they will tell you when you can buy if the first person does come and get it. Enjoy your new Classic.

5 Canadian dollars is about 2.5 - 3 US dollars. You can't even use the toilet at starbucks for that much. (ok, I'm exaggerating)Many's the time that I've skipped a meal in order to be able to afford a computer part. With all the crap in my room, you'd think I'd look like one of those people in the "save the children" commercials. SE 4/2000/FDHD/7.0.1 :)

Nice. Like stonent said, CDN$5 = about US$2.5 - US$3, which = about AU$5 or AU$6. That'd be the most i'd pay for a Classic, but ah well, you're happy with it, plus its the only machine with a secret ROM disk! "**** em" - Jobs in regards to customers
