Ryanwar6's All APPLE Sale! G5 Tower, 23" Cinema, and Black Macbook

So I am up in Alaska right now and just realized that I really have no good way to get my computers back home after this summer. I realized that I wanted to just own a macbook pro anyway, so I figured I would just sell all it while I am up here. None of the prices include shipping. I am shipping from a small town in Alaska, so it will all be done certified through USPS. I have many references on NS including many highly reputable members. If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to PM me.

First up is my Powermac G5 Tower. This has a Dual 2ghz PPC processor, 3.5gb of ram, 400gb of HD (150gb and 250gb), and comes loaded with OS X Leopard 10.5, and FCS2 (if you want it).

This computer is my workhorse, I am just moving back to Seattle and want to go with a Macbook pro instead. I am looking for around $900. Shipping should be around $60 or so depending on where you live.

Next is my 23" Cinema Display. It is in great condition, with no scratches or dead pixels that I, or my camera, can see. Awesome HD screen that has two USB and two FW ports on back for plugging in peripherals. It also has a few NS die-cut stickers on the sides of it which can be very easily removed if needed. I am looking for $800+shipping

And last but not least is my Black Macbook. This is a 2.16GHZ intel Core 2 Duo processor. It has 4gb of RAM, a 150gb HD, and also comes loaded with Leopard and FCS2 (if you want it). Great computer for doing small editing projects on, I just want to upgrade to a macbook pro for my main computer. Looking for $1000. I might be able to ship this in a flat rate box, so shipping could be as low as $12 or so.

I have many more pictures available, it just takes me forever to upload them using this slow internet here in AK. Just let me know if you want me to send you either another picture or a screen shot of specs or something.

I am also semi interested in trades for a macbook pro or other items that could be used with an HVX200. Just let me know.

Cheers,
Ryan

Wow, I just realized that I made a whole sale thread on NS without any ski stuff. Seeing as I am usually a pretty big advocate of using NS bst forum mainly for selling ski items, I offer my sincerest apologies.

I hope everyone can forgive me due to the fact everything here is sick as sauce and aren't pieces of shit items that I found sitting around my room (like belts and tech decks).

Alright, so it looks very promising as far as the macbook being sold.

The highest current offer on the G5 is $725+ ship. The first offer of $800+shipping gets it.

Can't believe no one has jumped on the Cinema Display. This thing is baller as cheese.

Can't believe no one has guessed the second round mystery. I guess I can give one *Final* hint. Maybe someone will make the cut...

actually I was alluding to the fact that the keyboard will have a set of final Cut specific keys on it (costs like $40, and they are all color coded and show the different commands)...

But on the other hand, who knows, maybe I will sell Final Cut Studio 2 also... But only if you ask very nicely

Free bump for an amazing deal..

I can't believe the G5 isn't gone yet, and if I didn't already have one I'd snag this in an instant. Mine has less RAM and a smaller HD and I would still ask more than he is asking for his.

Not so sure I was 'too late', but since you're buying both I can understand the OP's deference to you.  Which also explains his non-reply to my last few PMs.  And btw keep your snide comments to yourself.  You may just have bought the last G5 on the planet.

ooh, you're sassy, though you did have over a week to buy it, no reason to call a little joke snide, as most people wouldn't take it that way.

Dude I'm not really a sassy guy but sometimes I put on my robe and wizard hat.  If it was intended as a joke I missed it.  It's all good, it just came off a bit flippant.  My sassiness got the better of me......
