I have a number of Macs and related things that I need to clear out to free up some space. I’d prefer to sell locally in the Houston, TX area, but if you aren’t local feel free to ask for a shipping quote. I‘m trying to keep this listing from getting out of hand so I’m just covering the basics of each item, I can provide a much more detailed description and pictures of any item if you want to know more.
All prices are based on cash and local sales, but most prices are negotiable (especially if you want multiple items). I would potentially be interested in trades as well. As for what trades I’m interested in there’s really too much to even list, potentially even stuff that needs repairs, and I’d probably be even more flexible with trades on the larger items if you’re local, so it really can’t hurt to just send an offer. Desktops: Mac Pro 3,1: 2.8ghz 8 core with 32GB of RAM, Radeon 2600 XT, 500GB hard drive, two SuperDrives, AirPort, and Bluetooth. It works fine (it was my primary workstation from 2015 until I got a 4,1 last year), but it was damaged in shipping at one point so it has bent feet and cosmetically it isn’t pretty. It also used to have an intermittent issue that I think might have been caused by the power supply but seems to have disappeared, contact me for a full description. Asking $175 Mac Pro: 1,1 model upgraded to 2,1 firmware with 2.66ghz quad core processors for 8 total cores. 16GB of RAM, 500GB hard drive, GeForce 7300 GT, two SuperDrives, AirPort, and Bluetooth. Fair cosmetic condition with some scuffs/scratches but no dents, only one small ding in the front grille. I also still have the stock processor chips if you want them. Asking $150 Mac Pro 1,1: Stock 2.66ghz quad core configuration, 10GB of RAM, GeForce 7300 GT, 500GB hard drive, single SuperDrive, AirPort, and Bluetooth. Fair cosmetic condition with some scuffs and scratches and slight yellowing to the white plastics on the back but no dents or dings. Only one of the hard drive trays is original, the others are 3D printed replacements. Asking $100 Or take all three Mac Pros as a lot for $380 iMac G5 20”: 1.8ghz, 2GB RAM, 160GB hard drive, AirPort. This is the top of the line first generation G5 model. It’s in good cosmetic condition and works great except that there is no audio from either the speakers or the headphone port, and sometimes the speakers will make some weird buzzing sounds. I did replace the four visibly bulging capacitors on the logic board but that didn’t solve the problem and I didn’t feel like replacing all the rest without knowing for sure whether that would solve the issue. Asking $60 Laptops: Late 2007 White MacBook: 2ghz Core 2 Duo, 1GB of RAM, 80GB hard drive, Combo Drive. This computer is in good overall condition with some signs of wear. The battery is fairly healthy in terms of capacity/runtime but with high cycles. I do not have a charger to include with this one. Asking $60 Early 2008 15” MacBook Pro: 2.16ghz, no RAM or HD. This one has an odd issue where it won’t boot, it just beeps “SOS” in morse code when you press the power button. From what I can tell this error code means that the firmware is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled using a firmware CD, but there was never a firmware update issued for this specific model so It seems that firmware restore CDs don’t exist (but when I tried inserting a firmware CD from a 2007 MacBook Pro it didn’t beep and it did attempt to read the CD before spitting it out, which seems to prove my theory that it’s just a corrupt firmware issue). Cosmetically the exterior is in fair to good condition except that a few of the keyboard keys are worn. It has the glossy LCD panel, which I believe means that it also has an LED backlit display. It seems like the battery is probably good based on how long it took to charge, but I don’t have another compatible computer to test it. Asking $40 Devices/Accessories: Radeon HD 5450: a basic PC graphics card with 1GB of VRAM. It’s a pretty low-end card, roughly on par with the Radeon 2600 and a modest improvement over the GeForce 7300, but it would help apps that struggle with the low stock VRAM. It has been tested to work with a few different versions of OS X and I’ll include a CD-R with some kext drivers. Asking $20 by itself, $10 with any Mac Pro, or free if you want all three Mac Pros GeForce 7300 GT that seems to be dead but might possibly be fixable: free with any Mac Pro RAM for Mac Pro 1,1/2,1/3,1: various sticks pulled from the Mac Pros in order to upgrade the RAM. Two 2GB, two 1GB, and four 512MB, for 8GB total, all PC2-5300F with small heat sinks. It’s been a few years since I tested these and I seem to recall two of the sticks being temperamental and only working half the time, I think it was one of the 2GB and one of the 512MB, but I’m not positive. Free with any Mac Pro Linksys WRT320N: 802.11n WiFi router with four Ethernet ports. Asking $10 or free with any computer D-Link DI-524: 802.11g WiFi router with four Ethernet ports. The WiFi antenna’s rubber housing has disintegrated but other than that it works fine. Asking $5 or free with any purchase Canon ImageCLASS D680: monochrome all-in-one laser printer/copier/fax machine. Has USB and parallel ports, plus a fax modem. This does work but I can’t figure out how to print a report page with the total pages printed and remaining toner so I don’t know the history, also there are regularly spaced lines on the pages I’ve printed which I believe means the drum might be damaged, but according to the manual it uses an all-in-one toner cartridge that contains the drum so it might be an easy fix. Or if you don’t care how clean the prints look it can still be used as-is, text is still perfectly legible. It comes with the manuals and software CD, but no cables. Asking $40 Epson Perfection V330 Photo: this is a color flatbed scanner, A4/Letter size with a lid that folds open 180° for large objects, that also has a backlight for 35mm negatives or slides (the backlight window is only big enough for 35mm, it won’t work with medium or large format). It has been tested to work, but I don’t have the original power supply or the film holder, it’s just the scanner by itself. Asking $20 Kensington SlimType Keyboard for Mac: this is a laptop-style USB keyboard with number pad and media buttons, still in box, as far as I’m aware it has never been used. Asking $15, or $5 with any computer Logitech Cordless Desktop S510: a slim laptop-style wireless keyboard (PC layout), a wireless mouse, and the dongle base station, all in excellent condition in the original box. Asking $30, or $20 with any computer Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 1.0A: Microsoft’s signature ergonomic keyboard with a PC layout, fair cosmetic condition, works great and includes the dongle which has both USB and PS/2. Asking $25, or $15 with any computer Two 1920x1080 LCD monitors with DVI and VGA ports: Both work great but they don’t come with any cables. Asking $35 each, or $25 each with any computer Compaq WF-1907: 19” 1440x900 LCD monitor with DVI and VGA ports and built-in speakers. This one does work fine but the image quality isn’t all that great by today’s standards, with some slight discoloration across a portion of the screen (I’m not sure how to describe it, it isn’t dark or well defined enough to be a bruise but it just looks “off“). Probably best as a dedicated testing monitor, or maybe in some high-risk area like a garage where exposure to elements or risk of damage makes it too risky to use a better monitor. No cables included. Asking $15, or $5 with any computer, or free with a Mac Pro. Acer P191W: 19” 1440x960 monitor with DVI and VGA inputs. This one often turns off soon after being turned on, which i think indicates that it probably has some bad capacitors. Other than that it’s in good condition and the screen doesn’t have any flaws. No cables are included. Free with any purchase Dynex DX-L40-10A 40” 1080p HDTV: This TV has a computer monitor mode, to be used with either the VGA port or HDMI (or DVI if you have an adapter). Using this mode you can use the RCA audio inputs for sound and it will disable all of the image post-processing for a more accurate picture. It also has lots of HDMI and analog inputs. It comes with the original remote, which works but is in rough condition. Asking $75 Samsung HL-T6176SX-XAA 61” 1080p DLP projection TV. One of the last DLP TVs with a compact tabletop form factor (looks almost exactly like a flat screen except it’s about a foot thick, only weighs a few pounds more than a modern flat screen of the same size) and excellent picture quality and good viewing angles for a DLP. 3 HDMI, VGA, lots of analog ports, comes with the original remote. This one has an issue where it’s hard to turn on, usually taking a few attempts and maybe 5-10 minutes before it actually comes on, but once it’s on it works great. I assume either the main board or the power supply needs to be recapped to fix this, or it could still be used as-is if you don’t mind it being annoying to turn on. Asking $50 Sceptre E24 24” HDTV: full 1080p with LED backlighting and what looks like an IPS or VA screen with great color and viewing angles. It works fine but it has a couple small scratches on the LCD panel, the housing is a bit rough, and it’s missing the stand. It does include the original remote. Asking $40 Small HDTV: this one is currently in storage so I don’t know the make/model off the top of my head, but As I recall it’s in roughly the 20” range, it’s full 1080p (but only a standard TN panel, not IPS), and it has a built-in DVD player which does work. Unfortunately it’s missing the remote, which is required for full DVD player features (I assume a universal remote would work but I haven’t tried). Asking $40 Insignia NS-32D201NA14 32” HDTV: 720p with LED backlighting, appears to be IPS or VA. I thought the backlight failed but after further testing I’m not sure what’s wrong. Sometimes the backlight will go out and stay off, other times it will come back on and work perfectly for hours. I’m not very good at troubleshooting electronics, but if you have the right test equipment and knowledge it might be an easy fix (none of the capacitors are bulging but that’s the extent of my abilities). No remote. Asking $25 Laptop backpacks: two available, one orange and one green, both have a pocket and strap inside for holding a laptop and both are used but in good condition overall. Asking $5 each Targus laptop bag: good condition overall, can just barely fit a 17” MacBook Pro or a smaller laptop plus some cables/accessories. Asking $10, or $5 with any purchase Power Mac G5 parts: a few years ago I got two 2004 Power Mac G5s that both had leaky cooling systems so I parted them out. I should still have two sets of most parts aside from the power supply, processor/cooling system, and GPU, including two complete (and not visibly corroded) logic boards, but I’m unable to test anything. I also have one case but it’s missing the door and has corrosion damage so it would probably only be good for some kind of art project. Make an offer on any items or take the whole box (plus the case if you want it) for $40 3D printed specialty items: iMac G4 neck opening tool: the neck of the iMac G4 uses a strange 3-pin screw head and I was unable to find the appropriate tool so I designed and 3D printed my own. This is a set of two tools, with plastic body and metal pins. Just to clarify, this tool is not needed to remove/replace the entire neck, it’s for opening the neck assembly to access the internal components, make repairs, or replace the chrome housing. $10 for a set of two. Mac Pro Hard Drive Trays: these are reverse engineered from the Apple originals and look/work identical. Since they are made of plastic they aren’t quite as rigid as the originals, but they’ve been reinforced so that they aren’t *too* flexible. I can make these in either 2006-2008 or 2009-2012 length, I can make them either blank or numbered, and I can make them for either 3.5” or 2.5” drives. $10 for a set of four. Mac Pro 2.5” drive adapter: this will let you use a 2.5” SSD or hard drive with the original Apple drive trays. These include screws and other necessary hardware. $10 for a set of four. Hard drive storage cases: these are just basic sleeve-style cases to store hard drives when not in use and protect them from dust. Available in 3.5” and 2.5”, they fully enclose the drive and the 3.5” ones also have a slot to insert a paper label. $10 for a set of 5 3.5” cases or $10 for a set of 10 2.5” cases. Also there’s a chance I might be able to help if you’re in need of a custom designed/printed part for a project. Again, all of these prices are based on cash and local pickup, shipping would cost extra and in that case I would only accept PayPal. Keep in mind that local pickup would be outdoors in a public parking lot, with social distancing and masks. Please contact me if you want more information or pictures of any of the items, if you want a shipping quote, or if you want to offer something to trade.
