how many inches is the screen?
Why are you selling?
Screen size 14.1 inch.
I’m selling this because I seem to have lots of machines at home. Was gifted an Acer laptop with high specs recently.
adora check out mark’s previous post.
mark ship it to the gold coast, and ill ask the lebanese chiefs to bake the largest choc-chip cookie shipped on my personal airplane dropped from thousands of feet high on your roof.
[lebanese and greek chiefs ranked #1 here]
Windwalker this powerbook is different from the powerbook i have at home.
Can I see it first?
Mark,
No disrespect.. but I would just donate that. I’ll ask MsB, she knows plenty of people who could benefit from it.
But selling it for 150 KD that’s steep!
Again, no disrespect, but they are selling that thing for parts on ebay… and even then it is for 99$ that’s 30KD!
Its not my powerbook. Also they are selling for $400 on ebay. please check before you comment.
if you check under complete items on ebay you will see that G3 400mhz pismos have been sold for $350 to 400. so it is very disrespectful to come in here and state incorrect facts. KD150 is actually a good deal specially here in Kuwait. A friend of mine purchased a ibook clamshell last month for KD100! The price of Anthonys powerbook was calculated by comparing to what is currently being sold on ebay, plus adding a bit more for shipping.
Sure, anyone can check it out.
I live in Salmiya. Contact me at 9503690
This is a G3 500mhz – better than the 400mhz
Hi Mark,
I saw this on ebay:
G3 Powerbook 400MHz 30GB HD 512MB RAM Wireless CD/DVD
this one is for $75…
let’s not bicker. I just want to say, that if no-one buys it’s a good idea to donate that’s all.
KATCH (Kuwait association for the care of children in hosptitals) is one idea.
law shweya aqla chan sharaita :>
but its not…
not for 75 dollars though,
money transfer via paypal is 2%
shipping interstate is 24, worldwide would be 2.5 double the amount for laptops and electronics.
also taxes in other states like california and texas are 8% fixed.
you are looking at a price that is close to being 120-130 dollars.

yay or nay? this topic motivated me into buying a powerbook off ebay..
Misguided do you know how ebay even fucking works? People BID on stuff meaning the price is only final AFTER the time is up. the 75$ one you showed me still has over 2 days of bidding! Majority of the bidding usually takes place in the last few hours. Seriously could just stay the fuck away, I hate it when people pretend to know what they are talking about.

These are prices from COMPLETED auctions. Now take any of those calculate shipping to your US mailbox plus shipping back to Kuwait and you will end up with a price similar to what Anthony is selling. So you would be buying a Powerbook in Kuwait for same price as in the US. Thats a good deal.
I am interested, will ask my husband and call to let you know for sure….hope nobody beats me to this!!!!!
Mark I believe that.
Ebay >>> *10^3123123 (>’s) amazon.com
do the switch, see the difference.
everything in my apartment (excluding the furniture) is off ebay atm. including the shoes/shirts/shorts and phone that I am carrying at this very moment.
lol well if you have a US visa card to use with PayPal eBay can be a lot cooler then Amazon. Since I dont have a US card though I don’t usually end up buying a lot from ebay. TivoGuy (rami.info) though lives on eBay and he rarely ever uses Amazon.
Boy!! I really seem to have made folks go all nuts… I didn’t mean to. I got this machine (my 1st mac) about a year back for KD200/-, did my upgrades from different hacks sites – costing me about KD100/-. So you see folks why I did try to study the current value ~ loosing on additional costs.
I have no problem, as long as, someone knows the powerbook’s worth like Mark (a true mac user). I can include the Service Manual (PDF), if you want.
