FOR SALE Apple G5 Dual 2GHz (UK)

[LoudNoises]

Hey

I'm selling our Apple G5 as its now surplus to requirements
This sale is for the base unit only so we are only looking for £240 for it

Spec wise its a Apple G5 Power PC
Dual 2GHz Processor, 2Gb Ram, 80Gb HD + 120Gb HD
it also includes 1x apple monitor adapter DVI to VGA

The Mac is in good conditions and still run like a dream
the only issue is the rear firewire 400 port no longer works
but we have been running the machine for 2 years since it went
and never needed to replace it as there is another firewire 400 port
on the front of the machine and a firewire 800 port on the back

Buyer can collect or I can arrange shipping,
drop me a message for shipping prices



Thanks
ow

These units aren't worth hardly $300US nowadays man. I have the same machine and last time I checked the value (months ago) it was at $280. You are a little overpriced, unless you are including shipping in that.

mac2sell.com:

If I change the HDD to 80GB the price is the same, and the DVI>VGA adapters are less than $40, plus you have a broken FW port. Not trying to be a dick but your price is a little too high for this.

These units aren't worth hardly $200US nowadays man. I have one that I still use daily and last time I checked the value (months ago) it was at $200. You are asking for over twice that amount.

He's in the UK man, prices are different here, the dollar to pound ratio for buying products is only about 1:1.

A $600 guitar will usually cost £600 here.

Just quickly browsing ebay this isnt that bad a deal at all.

Owen, I used incorrect information you quoted the old price (i had put 2MB of RAM instead of 2048, dunno why they use MB instead of GB).

UK price:

mac2sell is a widely used resource for pricing used Macs and other Apple products.

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Yeah, that price is a bit steep. The usual practice around here is to either list the Mac with the suggested Mac2Sell price and take offers, or just lower the Mac2Sell price a bit and just sell it for that.

006, you missed that it has a total of 200Gb HD capacity. Not that it matters that much, as it only takes the price up to 170GBP.

Last time I looked this is a gear for sale thread,
I have gear for sale and that's the price I'm looking for

G5's over here of that spec go for around £300 - £350
so that's more than a fair price!

 

[muckypup1]

This is actually a pretty good price for this spec in the UK, if I had the cash I'd snap it up!

 

[006]

If it is then awesome, that's just crazy to me.

Shit is just really expensive in the UK We get shitloads more taxes and that crap so if i go break a leg i can get treatment without paying for it

Also, bear in mind that the price mac2sell will give you is the amount they would buy a mac off you. They would then resell the item as parts or as a complete unit with a markup price, so you will never get a lot of money from them.

Its like, i have an ESP M-II i am selling, and i want £850. Cash Converters offered me £300 for it.

Uh, no. They don't buy old macs. This is a straight quote from their site:

Does Mac2Sell sell or buy Macintosh/iPod/iPhone ?
Our goal is not to sell or buy used hardware. We offer a free estimation of your hardware.

Anyway, sorry for the OT, I'll now leave the original poster to selling his computer

Id say that 240 is a REALLY good price for a G5 of that spec over here! that mac2sell seems a little off.

 

[Lasse Lammert]

very good price over here as well
