Misc. mac stuff for sale

[DAC1138]

I got some old mac stuff here I have no need for. $15 for each item, the two batteries will be sold together (not $15 each, $15 for both)

Mac Powerbook 12x CD-ROM Modue (model # M4149)
Two Powerbook 30-watt battery (model # M4915)
Powerbook G3 Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery (model # M4685)
PowerBook G3 45W AC Adapter (model # M4402) (year is 1998)
2 copies of AppleWorks 5 in the box (one opened, one in shrinkwrap)
2 copies of adobe photoshop 5.5 *upgrade* (both still in shrinkwrap, upgrades, not installs))
a USB floppy drive
Mac OS 7.6 CD version in shrinkwrap
Mac os 8.5 opened, but in excellent condition

the two 30-watt powerbook batteries look like they go to the older pre-g3 models, wheras the G3 bettery i have looks like it goes to the newer pismo/wallstreet laptops.

I'm thinking about selling the beige G3 powermac i have. i think its a 300mhz processor (ill confirm this after the OS finished installing). it has a 9Gb hard drive, zip drive, no cd-rom, and a floppy drive. the 9gb hard drive is connected via a PCI scsi card. it has an empty slot and an KDE cable to go with a cdrom, which isnt there.

i'm also considdering selling the b&w g3 i have, as i dont have time to see whats wrong with it anymore, so i'd rather just get rid of it and not let it sit in the basement. its a g3, 400mhz, no ram, default HD i put in the beige G3, so i put the beige one in here (4gb), has a zip drive and a cdrom drive. since the beige HD is in here, it has a failed os 8.5 install, so it wont boot from the HD, so i can include another IDE hard drive with this one, about 6gb.

make offers for the g3 computers, and ill see if i want to fix them up or just sell them. these are my only macs (sadly). im looking to get a mac mini maybe.

-edit-
eh, what the hey, ill just post here again.

these arent macs, but you may be interested in using them, as i have no need for them. I have 4 dell Optiplex GXi computers (all of them work and boot) with the following specs:

350 Mhz pentium 2, 64 MB Ram, 4.3 GB hard drive $15
(2)400 Mhz pentium 2, 128 MB Ram, 4.3 GB hard drive $20
266 Mhz pentium 2, 64 MB Ram, 4.3 GB Hard drive $10

All these computers include ethernet cards, video cards, sound cards, cd-rom and floppy drives. All these systems boot up to a windows login screen, where I do not have the password to login. I can install linux on them if you want, specify distro or let me choose the best for you. I know shipping will be a lot for these items, so im not asking for much. if you want to buy them all for $35, ill give you a hub and some network cables, just in case you're into making renderfarms as a hobby or something.



Will accept trades
you can PM me, but i'd prefer email at [email protected]

What would you take for the messed up G3 B&W? What is the problem with it?

 

[DAC1138]

im not sure whats wrong with it.
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=128547#post128547

thats all the info about the problem. what it could be is i dont have an official os x cd. i downloaded it via torrent to see if i could use it to format my hard drives, i had no intention of using os x (which is why i didnt buy the cd officially). i thought linux would install once os x had formatted the drives. the official Mac OS cds i have wont work because it needs at least 8.6. so maybe if you had a live linux cd that runs from the CD and requires no HD, it will be fine. maybe it just needs a ROM flash or something, im not sure.

im not sure how much i'd sell the b&w for, maybe $50 plus shipping, maybe a little more.

-edit-
i should mention, if you buy something from the list, and it doesnt work, just send it back and ill refund your money within a month.

I might be interested. Let me get back to you.

I have always wanted to work with a B&W. I need a challenge also!

 

[DAC1138]

alright, as far as i know, apple support has told me the b&w just needs a new pram battery, which will cost $6 + $3 shipping to replace. so it works as far as i can tell. i can sell it for $100 since that's about the price im seeing on ebay.

How much for the beige G3?

 

[Dotties Rebel]

About the Beige G3.
Would an internet card work with it?
Is it possible the run Tiger/Panther on it?
Does it have USB/Firewire?

Really that's all, I know nothing about macs so sorry. I'm willing to make an offer depending on those answers.

 

[macEfan]

Hello Dotties,

1.It has built in ethernet
2.No, U need a mac with built in firewire for tiger. U will be able to run panter but it will be verrrrrrrrry slooooooow.(computer needs more ram)
3.Not unless it was upgraded(it probally has the standard serial ports

BTW WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!!!

 

[Dotties Rebel]

How much would it cost for some more memory, and the upgrade? I have a local store here called the mac shack...Would it even be worth it? I would need to be able to run Itunes, AIM, and the internet. Occasionally things like word.

Thanks for the welcome

 

[macEfan]

It would make a good starter computer for U!!!

It uses PC 66 ram. It is not too expensive and is fairly easy to come by.
check out this link: http://www.comtread.com/comtread/pc66sdram.html. You can also buy the ram from http://www.newegg.com. If you wanted to U could go see your local computer shop and ask them. As for the firewire/usb check out http://macsales.com There U can choose the G3 and find all sorts of upgrades for it.(they have a firewire card for only $10!)

You will be able to run ituns,aim, and internet explore or netscape.

Lastly try appleworks for the typing program.

Good luck!!

If U want the g3 i will not stand in your way

 

[Dotties Rebel]

Wow, you are incredibly helpful! Thank you for helping a person who has only used a mac at school (and fell in love).

Please contact me about the computer than through PM on here

 

[macEfan]

Thanks,

I am not selling the g3.I am just here to help people ImDac1138 is selling it.(he started the thread too) Please contact him through PM and U guys can work out a deal.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

 

[DAC1138]

yeah, the g3 may be too slow as-is to run panther. it doesnt have firewire, but it does have an ethernet card, which i dont think is working right. theres an add-on pci ethernet card in there which does work. as it is right now, it works on the internet with internet explorer 5 i think the version is. it browses the net just fine. im not sure about aim, because i havent tried it on the beige.

it has 3 ports for ram, and its running at 266mhz if i can remember correctly.

 

[macEfan]

How much does it cost?

 

[DAC1138]

for the beige probably just $40, since shipping is going to be really expensive.

it doesnt have a keyboard or mouse though, but i can provide an ethernet cable and a power cable if necessary. it doesnt have a cdrom drive, but it can take any IDE hard drive, and i might be able to throw one in if i dont sell that 5th dell computer with no power supple.

 

[Dotties Rebel]

Hmmm, if you could would you PLEASE save it for about 2-3 days? I would like to check at my local mac store here and ask some questions.

 

[DAC1138]

will do.

i might add, its loaded with a bunch of misc. software. the previous owners ran a newspaper, so it has the following software:

adobe illustrator
adobe streamline
adobe pagemaker
adobe photoshop 5.5 and 6.0
indesign
MS word
multi ad creator
quark XPress 4.1
and of course, IE and netscape

i was going to reformat the drive and reinstall the OS, but i figured if i had interested people for buying it, i'd just leave it. maybe you people can use the software, which i know stuff like photoshop and quark are worth quite a bit.

 

[macEfan]

Are the dells sold yet?

Also how do i know that the g3's problem is for sure the PRam battary?

 

[DAC1138]

im not sure its a pram battery, as its my first mac since the pre powerpc macs. if its not the pram, its something that can be easily replaced, motherboard are about $30 on ebay.

the dells are still here, ive gotten some responses from other people about them in which i replied to via email, but no one has yet to reply to my reply, so they're still here for the time being.

 

[DAC1138]

i still have all the machines, i havent worked on them at all. anyone still interested? or should i try craigslist now?
