Carboy7's conquests!
Posted by: Carboy7 on 2016-10-28 18:03:03
I guess it has come to this day...

I recently got in touch with a seller for a Flower Power iMac G3... Hopefully, I obtain it by Sunday! And I didn't try to negotiate, either. Aren't I a good person? (Don't answer that, please 😛 )image.png

There are a quite a few 68kmla members who live in NC. I would be careful as someone might steal it from under you. Hopefully nobody does. The flower power is on my wish list of macs to buy! Good Luck!

Thanks! I recently saw a Flower Power on the 'Bay tried to go for $700+...

If you have the cash!

Oh my!  It's sitting so seductively on that bed, too!

It wants me-

oh god, what did I just say

*keels over laughing*

Just keep any first-date reports SFW? ok? 😉

Sure thing.

(OK, enough of this...)

Crying over here... LOL!

I'm not sorry. 😛

I'd consider it a good day if I could find a tangerine one.

For some reason people on eBay ask crazy money for the tangerine ones.
Posted by: novusgordo on 2016-10-28 20:27:47
Don't people on eBay ask crazy money for just about anything, though?
Posted by: EvieSigma on 2016-10-28 20:29:44
They do! But I just noticed that of all the relatively common iMac colors, Tangerine iMacs seem to have among the highest asking prices. And I imagine these Flower Power ones are even higher than that!

And don't even mention G3 AIO in front of ebay...

OK, do not show that listing to my wife! I want to keep my AIO!
Posted by: Carboy7 on 2016-10-28 20:43:15
Ok... Fingers crossed. 😉

I obtained the iMac G3. And a bit of a surprise, as well!IMG_0525.JPGIMG_0526.JPGIMG_0527.JPGIMG_0528.JPG

The iMac is a bit dirty, gonna scrub it off later.

And the surprise. IMG_0530.JPG

A free QuickSilver from the same guy.
