Buyer always should beware... That said, I purchased a G4
PowerBook on eBay about three years ago and recently it had a

and yup, it has booted fine ever since. Usually all of my Macs
run 24/7, (including sleep periods), and I seldom if ever run into
system problems. My G4 Gigabit desktop has been running Tiger
without issue ever since it came out.
Other than serious hardware issues, most Mac problems can be
solved by the user IMO.
But that's just me...
FWIW (may be off topic?):
I had kps on my QS 2002 Dual 1GHz recently ... I think it was due
to the "massive" Software Update for 10.5 8 Apple sent us all
recently ...
My setup has a complication of a PCI card, whose drivers don't care
for updates to the system ... M-Audio 2496. I also had added an
IOGEAR USB 2 card, which I thought my audio card was playing well
with ...
I usually got good results from applejack in autopilot mode ...
Fix: I chose to zero out my OS X partition, and CCC an old backup
to it to stop the mess ... removing cards, and trying to boot just
made things worse ... B-Tree hierarchy error or something ...
probably a DIskWarrior fix, but I don't have it.
Yes, all bets are off when you divert from original equipment. My G4
(s) are all original except for an additional SCSI card in the tower.
