$50 for an orange iMac - reasonable?

$50 is NOT resonable for a mac of such age. A 733MHz G4 tower maybe, but not a G3.

Offer at least $30, they're still making a buck. That'll at least fill the tank on one of the techs Chevrolet Cavaliers I'm sure. :lol:

If they won't budge, then it's not worth your time personally.

I was able to get three iMac G3's for free(sadly they're all gone :'( ) so paying for one in my eyes doesn't seem like it's worth it in the end really.

I just checked my local craigslist and someone is trying to sell a 400Mhz with 320MB of ram for $50. I don't even think that's worth it. I don't care how good it looks. http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/sys/1561426783.html

Fortunately we have a recycling depot that doesn't lock the gate at night, so there are pickings to be had – you just have to be ready to run if the cops drive by.
:lol: That image really cracked me up! (Run, luddite, run!) :lol:
If you really want to laugh, try to imagine running from the cops with a G3 AIO under each arm. :lol: :lol:

Now if that was an ANS (Apple Network Server 700) I might be convinced to run from the police with one of those... Wait, that might kill me in the process. Still worth it.

So, Dog Cow, how does this saga end? You can't just leave us hanging!

Yeah! It kills me when this happens.

I didn't buy it.

How terribly anticlimactic. Oh well.
