Hi there,

I just need to know if there is any way I can buy an install a restore DVD that ships with macs (non-retail) of 10.5 leopard on ebay to install on my older iMac as I don't want to pay close to $100 for a used retail copy.

The grey install discs that ship with Macs are model-specific and will not work on other models. You can call Apple for a replacement grey install disc for your model. It should run around $20.
