I'd go for a Mac Community web site that have sell/buy pages. I've bought several fine charging batteries holding for about 2 to 3 hours for about $50 in places like that. At that price one could perhaps afford a dodo as well. So a newer battery at $150-180 doesn't feel that attractive at all to me. For the difference you could get 1 (or even 2) 256 MB chips or a bigger hard drive. Obviously I'd make sure the 2nd hand seller felt trustworthy and could be made responsible for that the battery data supplied was correct. One can normally not replace the battery pack at a reasonable price in the Lithium-Ion batteries normally used in the wallstreets. >I went to the webpage that a nice list person sent me today.

Here in Europe it's not hard picking up a wallstreet/266 (with an original purchase receipt) for the equalivent of $2-300. I got my PDQ sans battery for about $400, but that was 18 months ago. >He is giving me several licensed software programs that I need, but I need to >iron out these other issues. So what is the value of these applications? If they are real, perhaps upgradeable licenses, you could be getting a good price at $200. If not, I wouldn't count these when validating the deal. >He seemed a bit too attached to receiving the $200 right away. I don't understand.
