I just got an email reply back from someone I emailed on Craigslist about an iMac G5. They say their roommate unplugged the iMac during like a maintenance thing, and when they go to turn it on, it flashes a folder icon. Well the idiot in his reply says that he wiped the harddrive, and can't find the OS disc. Uh, hello? No wonder it doesn't work! I don't think I'll spend $225 on this..I'm moving on.
This is what his posting says:
"...The computer was my baby till one day my roommate unplugged it during a maintainance and from then on when you turned it on it would just display a blinking folder icon with a question mark . I have bought several supposed " Restore Disks" spending over $100 and have had no luck . I have to decided to sell this one and move on. It will only be the computer with all parts just as it came I have not removed any hardware internally. It will not include mouse or keyboard. Physical condition of item is excellent other than some minor cosmetic scratches.
There is No Software, cables, manuals, or accessories. Just the Computer any usb mouse or keyboard will work
