I have been looking for a PowerBook or iBook to purchase, but as usual eBay prices are extremely restrictive.

If anyone here has one they are willing to sell, here are some criteria:
-Be reasonable with your prices please! The most I will be willing to pay is about $80, excluding shipping costs.
-Power adapter: please include one! It doesn't have to be OEM, but at least something that works.
-Condition is not that important as long as it boots. I don't care if there are scuffs, scratches or even some cracks in the plastic, or some dead pixels on the screen.
-If you PM me with nothing but an email or link, I will immediately assume you are a scammer and you will be reported.

I will make the payment with PayPal.

Thank you in advance!
 
Years ago, I purchased a Macintosh Graphite iBook 466MHz (M6411) as a backup to my existing one. During the past year, as I was thinning out my holdings, I figured since I've never needed this backup, it could go. I opened the box and surprise, the Seller had included an incorrect AC adapter / power supply. I powered it up using my other adapter, so I know it boots - I just do not have the proper adapter to offer you.

If you're interested in this iBook without adapter, I'd like $50 plus shipping. Please PM me if interested.

How much do the adapters by themselves usually go for?
 
I see a bunch of used ibook g3/g4 adapters on ebay for around $20 shipped.

Brand new aftermarket ones are $40.

Years ago when I snagged most of my ibooks the new adapters were less than half that.
 
I also have an iBook G4 that I can let go cheap if anyone is interested (power adapter not included). 800 MHz G4, 640 MB RAM, 30 GB hard drive, running OS X 10.4.11 -- the last version to support Classic Mode. It had a busted keyboard when I got it, but I replaced the keyboard and now it looks and works fine.
