G3 Blue&White Towers
I kind of want to get one just to see what it is like.
Anyone ever own one of these or used one?
Well a $10 dollar computer purchased via the internet...is really
NEVER a $10 dollar computer!
These computers don't come with a hard drive, keyboard, or mouse. They also come with probably very little ram, and they certainly would need an up to date OS installed.
So if someone was a brand new Macintosh user...add it all up (with some estimating):
- computer $9.99
- shipping $32.50
- used ram upgrade $20-$30
- used keyboard $10-$20
- used mouse $5-$10
- hard drive $10-$20
- OS 10 disks (depending on version $50+)
Add it up..this computer would cost a new Mac user somewhere around $132 to $170 bucks!
Of course if someone was a current Mac user...and had a bunch of old parts laying around the cost would be much less.
But minimally for anyone...this computer is going to cost $9.99 + 32.50 shipping = $42.49
Not as good a deal as it sounds!;D
