I tell you I'd not feel comfortable biding sight unseen on something sold by some one with that level of user knowledge. Also the "resale value 6 months ago" of $1500 was for run out stock of the 800 & 900 Mhz G3 iBooks I know because with educational pricing they were $1100 and i thought about getting one with my tax return.

Well, you did ask for 2c worth of advice, which is what I gave :)

Have fun,
Shay
