Hey all,
I'm new here, i've just recently been looking into getting an Apple machine for the first time in my life. I've been a PC user all my life, but have been overwhelmed by my experiences with Mac's lately. So i've thought about getting a used powerbook to get my feet wet so to speak. Well i've been looking out on the web and ebay and such looking for a good deal. Mostly i've found really crappy deals (ebay is insanly bad), and i've found an auction which i've won for a new powerbook. I got it for $525. Its a 1.5 G4 512MB 80GB etc.
The problem is knowing the prices of these machines, this seems too good to be true and i'm a bit suspicious about the whole deal. The guy thats selling it has an online store and stuff, but yet is unrated on this auction site. Think this is legit? Should i just wait till the new intel machines come out or should i take the leap now?
Where can i find a nice cheap used Mac?
