I thought I'd give it a shot and post this before I auction it on eBay to
see if anyone was interested. Admittedly, it's a smaller audience, but
maybe.......

So, why am I selling? To buy some new toys. Nothing is wrong with any of the
products for sale. I'm simply bundling up a bunch of good stuff to find a
new home for it all at once. I don't want to piece everything out, item by
item.
The computer was submitted for service to Apple by an authorized Apple
dealer in Dallas and as a result, Apple backs its reconditioning and repairs
for 90 days, in this case until 11/11/2003.
The computer's hard drive was completely low-leveled and a fresh, new
installation of Mac OS 9, with updates to 9.2.2, installed.
This computer can run Mac OS X without breaking a sweat and, if you feel
like it, can be upgraded to a G4/500 by Newer Technologies!

RULES OF THE ROAD, or the deal, whichever....
I don't do PayPal, Personal Checks, or Out-of-Country (meaning, the United
States).
I do United States cashier's checks or money orders only in US Dollars! All
payment forms are verified through the bank or issuing agency, cross-checked
with a national banking clearinghouse.
I don't ship to third party addresses or third parties, period. Don't even
ask please.
Buyer pays actual shipping, packing, handling costs only. Buyer picks
shipper. The packaging/shipping store I use does a very good job...and it
costs a reasonable amount for the good job they do. If there is more than
one box to ship, the shipping and packaging costs will reflect that. Nothing
ships until the payment form clears, even for verified payment forms. No
exceptions unless you show up with cash, and we'll visit the bank to check
for counterfeit bills.
If you have a question, please ask beforehand. Good communication is the key
to avoiding problems.

Price is US$1,500 firm. End of story.

Thank you for your interest, if any.
Have a great day!
