Title: FS: Lot of Boxed, Mint iMac G3s [233/333/400/500/600]
Post by: SDMacLovn on October 04, 2021, 05:21:25 PM

I have moved to a smaller home and I’m selling my collection of boxed, mint condition iMac G3s. These are all super clean. All have new or rebuilt keyboards. All are complete with correct mice, cables, cords, and install CDs, etc. Most boxes are mint. I will be listing each of these on eBay later this month but I’d like to see them go to collectors who will appreciate them. I’m located in San Diego and I’d prefer buyers pick them up here but I will ship if necessary. See attached pics for an idea of some of the iMacs in my collection.

Oh man I am so jealous, I'm assuming postage to New Zealand would be completely outrageous..  ;D

Probably cheaper to charter a boat. Postage within the U.S. is already outrageous. If it weren’t for COVID travel restrictions, I’d be tempted to visit NZ and bring them along. 8)

Just to be clear, some of the iMacs pictured are no longer available. However, I have others that are not pictured.

Oh my, why does that stuff always has to be located in the U.S.?  ;D

You know, over here in Europe we don't have travel restrictions for U.S. citzens so maybe you'd love to come and stay for a visit here in Bavaria? (and bring a tangerine iMac along?  :P)

I would LOVE to visit Bavaria. Do you have the room to put me up for a few days? I have a 333GHz Tangerine for you if you can figure out how to get the iMac onboard as checked luggage. Most airlines have a 62 inch rule (H + W + D) and a 50 lb. limit. It turns out the iMac G3 box is 22 x 22 x 20 and weighs just over 50 lbs. I think Virgin Atlantic and British Airways have more generous rules. Any ideas?

It sure would be great if I could travel the world like Santa, delivering colorful iMacs to my new friends… :D

No ruby but I do have a 500MHz Indigo that will be on eBay later this month.

They are all gone. One guy bought them all up. They’re on their way to Montreal. I expect a museum will open there one day.

Yes, here in SoCal, I still get the kids (30+) that drop off mom or dad's old mac for ewaste every 6 months, and due to the climate, the electronics are like new

ive been trying to get a first gen imac for awhile, only because i have the stealth port board that is only compatible with the tray-ejecting imacs, apparently its not compatible with the cd slot loading imacs
