I have a variety of computers and peripherals/accessories that I need to clear out. Most prices are negotiable, especially if you want multiple items, so don’t be afraid to make offers. Prices do not include shipping. A few of the items might not be practical to ship due to weight or fragility and would be better suited to local pickup in the Houston, TX area.
Computers: MacBook: white Late 2007 3,1 base model, 2.0ghz Core 2 Duo, 1GB of RAM, 80GB hard drive, Combo Drive. In average to good cosmetic condition for this model, with some minor signs of wear, yellowing, and the unavoidable top case chipping. Works great but the battery stopped taking a charge. Asking $60 or best offer for just the computer, or $80 or best offer with a 60W MagSafe charger. iMac 21.5”: Late 2009 10,1 midrange model, 3.06ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB of RAM, Radeon HD 4670. The hard drive is dead and will be removed to attempt data recovery. Apart from the dead hard drive it seems to work fine. No keyboard, mouse, or cables are included, but it does have the original numbers-matching box with the styrofoam inserts and the box that originally held the accessories. The computer is in average condition for its age, the box has some minor marks and grime from storage but isn’t too beat up and looks like it should clean up well. I’m not really sure how to price this given how uncommon matching original boxes are, how about $100 or best offer? Parts/Repair: 2011 MacBook Pro: Early 2011 15” 8,2 model, 2.0ghz quad core i7, no RAM or HD. This has the notorious graphics chip failure but it does work fine if you do the trick to force only integrated graphics. This computer is repairable but might be best as a parts machine. It’s missing the battery because it inflated, it only has one screw holding the bottom panel on, and there’s a pretty ugly dent in the front corner of the top case (there’s also a faint mark on the edge of the display assembly in that spot but you’d never know it was there if you didn’t know to look for it). But apart from the dent and the logic board everything else seems to be in fair to good working condition, the screen is bright and clear with no cracks. Asking $80 or best offer 2008 MacBook Pro: Early 2008 15” 4,1 model, the last of the PowerBook G4 non-unibody design. 2.4ghz, no RAM or HD. The last time this was tested it seemed to be giving a bad firmware beep, but now it just spins the fans and doesn’t even try to POST so I’m guessing the logic board is probably dead. Cosmetically the housing is in fair to good condition except that a few of the keyboard keys are worn. It has the glossy LCD panel, which I believe means that it also has an LED backlit display, but I have no way to test that theory. It seems like the battery is probably in decent condition based on how long it took to fully charge, but I don’t have a compatible computer to test it. This is probably a good restoration candidate if you swap the logic board, or it would make a great parts machine since everything is there, all the way down to seemingly every single screw as far as I can tell. Asking $40 or best offer Power Mac G5 parts: a few years ago I got two 2004 dual-processor Power Mac G5s that both had leaky cooling systems so I parted them out. I should still have two sets of most parts aside from the power supply, processor/cooling system, and GPU, including two complete (and not visibly corroded) logic boards, but I’m unable to test anything. I also have one case but it’s missing the door and has corrosion damage so it would probably only be good for some kind of art project. Make an offer on any items that you need or take the whole box (plus the case if you want it) for $40. Mac accessories: Kensington SlimType Keyboard for Mac: this is a laptop-style USB keyboard with number pad and media buttons, still in box, as far as I’m aware it has literally never been used. Asking $15. Neat NM-1000 portable document scanner: Bus powered, motorized feed, and works with ImageCapture or with Neat’s receipt cataloging software. This is primarily a document scanner, it can do full color and high DPI but the image quality is best suited to basic text, you wouldn’t want to scan photos with it or anything like that. This is only the scanner, no cables or accessories included. Asking $20 or best offer. Epson Perfection V330 Photo: flatbed scanner with transparency light for 35mm negatives and slides. When last tested a couple years ago it still worked perfectly but I no longer have the correct power supply so I don’t have a way to re-test it. Sold as-is for that reason, it’s also missing the white background piece that covers the transparency section when not in use and the 35mm film adapter insert but that shouldn’t affect functionality. Asking $25 or best offer. HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A Plus: All-in-one color inkjet, scanner, copier, and fax machine. It can do double sided printing and double sided document feed scanning. WiFi, ethernet, and USB connectivity and AirPrint compatible for use with iPhones and iPads. Asking $120 or best offer Canon ImageCLASS D680: monochrome all-in-one laser printer/copier/fax machine. Has USB and parallel ports, plus a fax modem. This does work but I can’t figure out how to print a report page with the total pages printed and remaining toner so I don’t know the history, also there are regularly spaced lines on the pages I’ve printed which I believe means the drum might be damaged, but according to the manual it uses an all-in-one toner cartridge that contains the drum so it might be an easy fix. Or if you don’t care how clean the prints look it can still be used as-is, text is still perfectly legible. It comes with the manuals and software CD, but no cables. Asking $35 or best offer Linksys WRT320N: 802.11n WiFi router with four Ethernet ports. Asking $10 D-Link DI-524: 802.11g WiFi router with four Ethernet ports. The WiFi antenna’s rubber housing has disintegrated but other than that it works fine. Asking $5 Laptop backpacks: two available, one orange and one green, both have a pocket and strap inside for holding a laptop and both are used but in good condition overall. Asking $10 each Targus laptop bag: good condition overall, can just barely fit a 17” MacBook Pro or a smaller laptop plus some cables/accessories. Asking $15. iPad accessories: Brydge 12.9 Pro+: Model BRYTP6022, a laptop-style bluetooth keyboard and trackpad for the 12.9” iPad Pro. Made of anodized aluminum in Space Gray, has backlit keys and a magnetic back cover to protect the back of the iPad. Like new in the original box with manual, stickers, and a (non-original) USB-C charging cable. Asking $95 or best offer Zagg Bluetooth keyboard: No model number that I can find, made of black plastic. This is a standalone keyboard, not part of a case or anything, but it has a little notch in the top where you can set an iPad. I don’t know what type of iPad this was specifically designed to be used with, but it will work with a variety of sizes. I’ve tested it with the 2nd-4th gen style iPad, 1st-5th-gen style mini, and 10.2” iPad and it held all just fine. It also has an absurdly good standby battery life, I think it’s honestly been like three years or so since the last time I used it and yet it turned right on and worked fine without having to charge it first. Asking $15 or best offer Generic Bluetooth keyboard: No brand, model KB1305, blue plastic. This is a laptop-style keyboard that clamps onto the iPad and can be folded. I’m not sure what iPad it’s meant for, I’m guessing the 2nd-4th generation based on the shape of the parts that grip the iPad, and I’m not sure if any other models would fit either (it seems like too tight a fit for my 10.2” iPad so I didn’t want to risk scratching it, which is weird because the 10.2” model is quite a bit thinner than the model I’m assuming it’s made for). This one works and holds a charge, but it’s kind of ugly because a metal trim piece on the top came unglued and got a bit bent out of shape (it’s included if you want to try to reattach it) and it’s missing a few of the rubber feet. Asking $10 or best offer Speck Stylefolio Print 10.5” iPad case: A hard plastic case with fabric folding front cover that has the same basic functionality as an Apple Smart Cover. Light blue with a multicolored paisley design on the fabric parts (kind of a pale lavender background with blue, purple, yellow, and green). For the original 10.5” iPad or the 10.5” third generation iPad, despite almost identical dimensions this will not fit any of the 10.2” iPad models. This is basically brand new and unused, briefly tried out on my 10.2” model, realized that it doesn’t fit, and then put back in the original packaging. Asking $5 Displays: Samsung SyncMaster B2430HD: This is a 24” 1080p HDTV and computer monitor, the picture quality isn’t amazing by modern standards (being a TN panel with CFL backlighting it’s not as bright and vibrant as an LED backlit IPS monitor) but it’s not bad and it would be good for testing a variety of systems since it has HDMI, VGA, component video and composite video inputs, or as a secondary TV in a place like a kitchen or garage. No remote or cables included. Asking $40 or best offer Compaq WF-1907: 19” 1440x900 LCD monitor with DVI and VGA ports and built-in speakers. This one does work fine but the image quality isn’t all that great by today’s standards, with some slight discoloration across a portion of the screen (I’m not sure how to describe it, it isn’t dark or well defined enough to be a bruise but it just looks “off“). Probably best as a dedicated testing monitor, or maybe in some high-risk area like a garage where exposure to elements or risk of damage makes it too risky to use a better monitor. No cables included. Asking $15. Acer P191W: 19” 1440x960 monitor with DVI and VGA inputs. This one often turns off soon after being turned on, which i think indicates that it probably has some bad capacitors. Other than that it’s in good condition and the screen doesn’t have any flaws. No cables are included. Free with any local purchase Dynex DX-L40-10A 40” 1080p HDTV: This TV has a computer monitor mode, to be used with either the VGA port or HDMI (or DVI if you have an adapter). Using this mode you can use the RCA audio inputs for sound and it will disable all of the image post-processing for a more accurate picture. It also has lots of HDMI and analog inputs. It comes with the original remote, which works but is in rough condition. Asking $70 or best offer Samsung HL-T6176SX-XAA 61” 1080p DLP projection TV. One of the last DLP TVs with a compact tabletop form factor (looks almost exactly like a flat screen except it’s about a foot thick, only weighs a bit more than a flat screen of the same size) and excellent picture quality and good viewing angles for a DLP. 3 HDMI, VGA, lots of analog ports, comes with the original remote. This one has an issue where it’s hard to turn on, usually taking a few attempts and maybe 5-10 minutes before it actually comes on, but once it’s on it works great. I assume either the main board or the power supply needs to be recapped to fix this, though there’s a small chance the bulb is just on its way out and is stressing the ballast (the previous bulb got a lot dimmer than this one with no similar issues, but my online searches indicate a bad bulb is a definite possibility), or it could still be used as-is if you don’t mind it being annoying to turn on. Asking $50 or best offer Sceptre E24 24” HDTV: full 1080p with LED backlighting and what looks like an IPS or VA screen with great color and viewing angles. It works fine but it has a couple small scratches on the LCD panel, the housing is a bit rough, and it’s missing the stand. It does include the original remote. Asking $40 or best offer Small HDTV: this one is currently in storage so I don’t know the make/model off the top of my head, but As I recall it’s in roughly the 20” range, it’s full 1080p (but only a standard TN panel, not IPS), and it has a built-in DVD player which does work. Unfortunately it’s missing the remote, which is required for full DVD player features (I assume a universal remote would work but I haven’t tried). Asking $40 or best offer Insignia NS-32D201NA14 32” HDTV: 720p with LED backlighting, appears to be IPS or VA based on viewing angles. I thought the backlight failed but after further testing I’m not sure what’s wrong. Sometimes the backlight will go out and stay off, other times it will come back on and work perfectly for hours. I’m not very good at troubleshooting electronics, but if you have the right test equipment and knowledge it might be an easy fix (none of the capacitors are visibly bulging but that’s the extent of my electronics troubleshooting abilities). No remote. Asking $25 or best offer Or just want a stupid amount of monitors and TVs for some reason? How about $200 or best offer for the whole lot and I’ll even deliver them in or around the southwest Houston area. As mentioned above prices are flexible but do not include shipping. I only accept PayPal, unless you can meet locally in Houston in which case I’d take cash. I might be interested in trades, especially if you’re local, let me know what you have to offer. I can provide pictures or more detailed descriptions of any items, feel free to ask. Steven Fowler Houston, TX 77083 -- You received this message because you are a member of the LEM Swap group.
