Second hand iMac price

[Danny]

What would be a reasonable price to pay on eBay be for a nearly new iMac (2ghz with 1mb memory)?

which one dannyg, one of the g5s or an intel?

My son has a very early 17'' intel one. It's a lot more versatile than a G5, you can do more on it.

It's ran really well with no issues since he got it, they are good machines. Display isn't quite a sharp as the best and I hate the mouse! ;0) Never hangs, crashes or plays up. Just works and does everything he wants it to do. Looks great too, very highly recomended.

Intel - there have been several models on eBay recently that have been advertised as new or nearly new. I am still trying to work out what is a reasonable price to pay and who is and isn't a dodgy seller. Here's an example.

That seller looks ok to me. It's the same as everything else, it's down to how much you want to pay. Sometimes people can pay way over the odds for used items when it's trendy kit like iMacs. Are you one of those people?

Just do your homework and as long as you are happy with the price then that's all that counts.

Hopefully not - hence my original post B)

anything over £3.50 seems a lot to pay for a door stop

But in all seriousness, a 2GHz machine with a Gig of RAM - second hand electronics, I wouldnt want to pay more than £200! In fact £150...

But they work a lot better than a PC with that spec. Don't know why.
