eBay sales and all the issues and caveats sellers list, this ibook is
worth $500 on eBay. Not that I am selling.
I got the cheapo $149 missing footpad model with 256mb ram. The
640mb ram model sells for $259 (with airport).

This "growth" thing has been going on for decades. Partially the
buyer's fault, but also because the manufacturers can charge more for
a bigger vehicle and can NEVER resist the marketing hype they generate.
