Hey guys...I'm the messenger, not the seller. ;-) There's no question you can get lots more power for what a loaded 2400/G3 is selling for, but the same reasons that drive folks to pay $300-400+ for a basic 2400 on eBay, basically drives the $600-1100 price folks have paid for loaded 2400/G3s in the last few months.
If it wasn't for the the RAM limit and overall age of the machine, I think used 2400s would continue to blow the newer machines out of the water for some time. Me?...I think a 2400 is 'worth' around $250...and maybe $600 for the G3, but my opinion is pretty worthless, since I've only been able to buy one at those prices. ;-) Actually, given the heat sensitivity of the 2400/180, I'd probably only buy a an Interware/Vimage G3 at this point in the product's life cycle. Excuse the wanderings... ;-) >Hey Ralph, > >I think maybe the reason that you are having trouble selling it is >the price.
