Stuff to sell..

**Howard** · 31-10-2003, 09:55 AM

I've kinda been lumbered with all this old PC (well Mac) equipment to sell for my dad's mate:

An old 233MHz Powermac G3, modem, Wacom tablet, and what looks like a SCSI 8X CDWriter. He wants all this sold... Thing is I really can't be doing with all the hassle of putting it on eBay, and either lugging it to the post office with the ridiculous price it'll cost, or arranging for a buyer to collect it ... Do you think it's worth doing? How much would the lot sell for? The Mac just comes with keyboard and mouse, no monitor.

The other, more interesting package consists of:
Toshiba Libretto 166MHz laptop (Tiny little bugger, I love it, but don't wanna buy it, lol)
Portable Canon BJ-30 printer
"Backpack Bantam" external CDROM drive (Parallel port ugh)
PCMCIA 56K Modem
PCMCIA Floppy Drive
Microsoft Works and a couple of other bits of software

That's a more itneresting package, as the little laptop is cool.

So how much would both those packages cost to post in the UK? Is it worth doing?

royal mails parcel service goes up to 30kg - and is less than a tenner

so slap a quid or 2 more and they will give you some sort of insurance, so about 10 or 11 quid a piece

laptop : £50-£100 ebay (libretta)

mac: £20-40 max £10 postage 3-4 days. /edit - actually since it's a G3 - it might go nearer £60-£100 ish possibly.

probley yeh

If I were you, I'd just put an ad in your local paper. Probably easier than Ebaying it all and at least the buyer will be local so you can either get them to collect or get your Dad's mate to deliver it!

That's what I thought I'd do with the Mac, but I have no problem posting the laptop and bits TBH as they're not too big...Unlike this Mac... Anyone want to buy it?

May i suggest before posting how "crap the royal mail is" bear in mind, recorded,special and parcel force deliveries are unaffected..

Where are you in the saaarf east man? I'm interested in the Mac, love macs, mmmmm....does it work as far as you know? Not got much spare cash mind, just bought/buying a house :-)

But at the right price, I'll 'ave it!

**Howard** · 03-11-2003, 11:31 PM

Not too sure if we're selling the Mac yet, I'll let you know if I am. How much you willing to pay?

**daverobev** · 04-11-2003, 07:26 PM

Gimmie a price!! Not too much, like I said.

£35? More if its got more mem, is the second revision one with better gfx, or whatnot....give me more spec and I'll let you know. Deffo interested though, but not at ebay prices :-(
