Okay, so perhaps it’s not the plague, but it’s almost as bad. I am starting law school this fall and because they think we’re all savages PC users, they only offer their exam software for PCs. Thus, I need to buy a PC software-friendly MacBook, which means selling either my husband or my current laptop. I was forced to choose the one that would fetch a better price.
The laptop is a 15″ PowerBook. It has a 1.25 GHz processor, an 80GB hard drive, and 1GB DDR SDRAM (2 512 KB cards). It has a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, AirPort Extreme, and all the other standard Apple features. This laptop will come with a brand new copy of the Tiger OS for you to do a clean install with the latest operating system.
Why you should sell your kidney to buy this laptop: It is in great condition with only a few scratches on the exterior. I’m the original owner; I bought it directly from Apple in November of 2003. It’s exceptionally fast (you should see it drop from my second-story balcony!), and I’ve never had a single problem/virus/malfunction with it.
Why you should maybe only sell a fingernail to buy this laptop: Okay, I’ll be honest. The battery sucks. After a good solid 2.5 years of use, it only holds up on its own for about 45 minutes. Also, the little rubber feet on the bottom have all come off, and even a visit to the Apple store was not helpful (although the technician did manage to glue his finger to my computer). I can replace the feet with non-Apple feet, but they may not be as beautiful, and not as satisfying to your standard foot-fetishist. It’s your call. Finally, I don’t have any accessories other than the laptop, the power cord, and the new Tiger software. They disappeared along with my collection of stuffed moose in my last move.
Price: $850. I’ll be willing to entertain your best offer, but if it’s below $600, you’ll just be entertaining me.
WARNING: Do not contact me and tell me that you would LOVE LOVE LOVE to buy my laptop, but can I just please ship it to your mailing address in Krajkadjiysly, at which point you will THEN AND ONLY THEN be able to pay me with gold coins that are shipped to me in the gullet of a pelican that has received a receipt from FedEx to allow the payment. If you do this, I will send you a large box of crickets and wait anxiously for you to scam me by never sending a payment.
