hello from West Hartford, CT!
« on: June 08, 2025, 06:51:42 PM »

Just figured I'd make my first post here after using this site on and off for so many years.

Also! I hope it's okay to mention - I have [2] Mac Mini G4s that I'm thinking on listing for sale or trade. I'll have to dig them out of storage and get specs and photos, then I'll post them in the Buy/Sell section.

Welcome! The Mac mini G4 is an awesome Mac OS 9 machine. I'm sure there's some interest if you put them up for sale :)

Good question! I was thinking about getting an eMac instead for OS 9, just because it's all-in-one. Although thinking about it now, your suggestion seems more logical - just sell/trade one Mini and keep the other.

I haven't seen a single EUR 20 Mini in the past 3 years. 50 for beaten one and upwards.
The one that I have that was in NM condition was 85 + shipping.

If anyone is selling mini G4s for 20 euros still, please let me know because I'll buy them from you! The going rate for an untested one on eBay these days seems to be about $40-$60. Tested ones go for $80+ especially if with accessories.
