I have a previous generation (non-aluminum) iMac for trade. Its stats are:

- 24 in. LCD screen
- 2.16 GHz Core2Duo
- 3 Gigs of Ram (Upgraded from retail 1 Gig)
- 250 Gigs of hard drive space
- DVD-RW Drive

A similarly specced iMac is available on eBay for around 1,000 US dollars. Mine is in generally excellent shape, although there is a minor problem with the drive; it's fully functional, but requires some... compromise to get it fully working.

It's also under AppleCare until September 2009, which can be used to replace the drive if desired.

I'm letting this go because the screen is too large for my taste, and I'd like to lighten the cargo load when going back home. I'm hoping to trade this for a laptop, preferably a 15 in. Macbook Pro, but I'm open to other possibilities as well.

If interested, feel free to PM, post here, call (010-7791-7566), or e-mail at [email protected]. I'm also located in Bundang. Thanks for reading.

do you have an asking price for this? I might be interested in scraping up the cash for it. Also, it might be useful for you to take it in for service before selling, instead of leaving the onus on the buyer to do so. Just a suggestion!

[reimund]

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm too lazy to. There's no onus on the buyer; as it works perfectly fine, as long as the CD/DVD is inserted correctly.

Asking price will be W1,200,000.

The problem with setting prices based on eBay auctions is that prices fluctuate from auction to auction. So I can use it as a general guideline, but I won't base the price based on just one. That said, I have seen a bunch of other auctions for the same item here: http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38.l1313&_nkw=24+2.16+imac&_sacat=See-All-Categories. And they're around the $1,000 mark; some higher some lower.

I'm also going back to the states in a couple of weeks, so I'll be affected by the exchange rate more, although I wouldn't mind so much if I stayed for another year. I'll lower the asking price to W1,000,000.

FYI the same item Aphase posted ended up at $1,000:

I've got a Powerbook G4 (the very last generation before the MacBook Pros came out) in perfect working order and excellent aesthetic quality. 15.4" LCD, can't remember the rest of the specs (I did buy it in 2005), but it's a great little laptop.

If you really want a laptop, I'll trade.

[reimund]

Bumpity bump bump.

Omegamongoose: Sent you a PM.

[bobsbarricades]

When are you leaving? I need to get a new computer here bad as my iBook G4 can't handle Logic Pro too efficiently =P

I am willing to buy, but curious when you're leaving. Still for sale?

[reimund]

Hey Bob,

I'm planning on leaving around Jan. 30th, and yea, it's still available.

Still interested?

[sungi2l]

I own a Macbook. It's the generation that was existent about a year ago.

[bobsbarricades]

I just sent you a message. Sorry I just got your response.

[reimund]

This is still up for sale...

I'll drop the price down to W900,000.

[reimund]

Still up for sale; and I've uploaded a few photos:
