Maybe there are some good deals there, but I plugged in "G3" and "up to
$150" and got someone selling a 266/beige for $99. Someone else is seliing
a beige 300/DT for "only" $150.
There are also always people who put up utterly unrealistic prices, not knowing, or in denial, about what their beloved stuff is really worth.
Or they look at the used prices in magazines, at places like Shreve Systems, currently selling a beige MT 266 G3/4/128/CD/Zip with a 15" monitor for $249, or the grandaddy of 'em all, good ol' stuck-in-the-80's Sun Remarketing who are selling a beige G3 desktop, 233 mhz/64/CD for $229 without a monitor.
Or PowerMax, selling a G4/500-upgraded beige with 768 megs ram, and a 40 G drive for $629...<http://tinyurl.com/5ucsu> from the description it's an AIO, but still...that's absurd.
These prices are just flat out unsupportable against a Mini.
If the mini takes off, the prices on used macs either has to crash or the PC Weenies have been right all along, we're deluded fanboyz and fangurlz who will buy anything that says 'Apple' or 'Mac' on it at ridiculous prices.
