So I have a 17" iMac with the following specifications

1.83Ghz Intel Core Duo
1.5GB Ram
160GB Hard Drive
OS 10.4.9 Tiger Installed
Windows Vista Ultimate Installed
Office 2004 (Mac)
Office 2000 Pro (Windows)
Toast Titainium
iLife '06
Wired Apple Keyboard/Mouse + Remote
Original Box.
DVDRW

So anywho, I'd say value of that is £600+, but I'm looking for a quick sale (Just blew 4 grand on a Mac Pro) and will take £500 for it!!

I'm UK based, and will accept PayPal, cheques, cash on collection e.t.c. (South Wales).

IMO, its a pretty nice price (I would buy it!!!), £20 UK delivery on it too.

I would also accept a decent 'swap' for it, Mac/PC/PS3

Let me know if you are interested in buying it.

Thanks,

Gavin.

EDIT: Compared with the new iMacs this is a great deal, for £800 (Apple Store) you don't get:
Windows Vista Ultimate Installed
Office 2004 (Mac)
Office 2000 Pro (Windows)
Toast Titainium
Extra 512MB Ram

Which would add to the cost!! Great deal this be :) Arr.

Wait... 500+15=515, and 515 Euro is 709 USD, isn't it? Sp shouldn't it be 710 bucks US shipped?

I gotta feeling I'm missing something but 1.1K isn't that amazing of a deal for this machine. Someone let me know where I'm wrong cuz I think I'm miss reading something here or my conversions are worong lol.

Okay. I'm going to revise it a bit.

Windows XP Pro (NOT Vista), inlcuding holographic disc and Product Key.
Office 2000, discs supplied.

Office 2004 + Mac Software, no disks supplied.

Its in good shape, there is a tiny (and I mean, tiny) scratch on the plastic in the top left hand corner, but the screen and the rest of the mac is in near perfect cosmetic condition.

OSX+iLife - Disks Supplied.

Also, its £500, not €500.

Would just like to point out, I am after a G5 PowerMac, and WILL accept trades.

Software with no disks is useless.

I can supply backup copies of Office 2004 & Toast Titanium, but the rest of the software, like I said is supplied with the original discs.

That would be piracy.

So because they aren't the original disks, its illegal? No, its not. Its a genuine copy. Thats why I dropped the Vista disk. I subscribe to TechNet online, and don't have any original disks, whereas I do for XP.

Don't worry :)

it's not piracy because the software was paid for. ownership of software allows you to create archival copies for personal use.

Hi Sproit.

Trouble is with shipping to the Netherlands, is that its a bit risky for me, and its quite expensive. Unless you were willing to pay quite a bit for a courier that would give me full protection, it really wouldn't be feasible.
