Nice job Brian. I was wondering why the winning bid date looked strange...the proxy bid explains it.
I just was having a hard time justifying more money for another 2400. I think even with iBooks dropping in price, that package with the MO drive(same one I'm using), etc. was easily worth $700-$1000. I asked the seller who had done the G3 and HD upgrade, but didn't get a response. I was really wondering if if was MCE and whether they had done the CardBus enhancement. Since you'd forgotten about the auction I think it's only fair for you to sell it to me for $565. ;-) Take care... and enjoy. > > Well, in spite of the latest Wired(?) writeup on the value of 2400s >> in Japan, someone just cleaned up on an eBay >> 2400/G3-320(Interware)/80MB/6GB and lots of quality accessories for >> only $565...beat my snipe bid of $516 of so. > >Wow... how weird.
