12" Apple Powerbook

Bought this a few months ago. It was my first apple, i figured i'd give them a shot. It is the Superdrive model...the best they had. I then upgraded it to 756mb RAM.

A week after I got it the hard drive crapped out. This was obviously replaced under warranty. In the week that it took them to replace the harddrive I went back to using my PC laptop and realized that I much prefer it.

The apple has been sitting unused ever since.

It is literally as like new as anything could be. It has a brand new harddrive that hasn't even been restarted since we tested in the store to make sure it worked.

I paid $1750+tax and then put in a $250 RAM upgrade.

Will sell for $1200.

Steve,
Is that the same guy who wanted to buy the phone you had for sale, and then wanted to re-negotiate?

I don't know if you got this:



IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL

Dear Apple Customer,

Apple is voluntarily recalling certain lithium-ion rechargeable batteries that were sold worldwide, in systems and separately, from October 2004 through May 2005 for use with the following computers: 12-inch iBook G4, 12-inch PowerBook G4, 15-inch PowerBook G4. These batteries were manufactured by LG Chem, Ltd. of South Korea. Apple has initiated a worldwide exchange program and will provide you with a new replacement battery, free of charge. This program is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and other international safety authorities.

Issue: The affected batteries could overheat, posing a fire hazard. Apple received six consumer reports of these batteries overheating. Apple urges you to stop using your battery and to order a replacement battery immediately. If you must temporarily use your computer with the battery, do not leave it unattended and check for signs of overheating.

Product: The recalled batteries include those with model numbers A1061, A1078, and A1079 and serial numbers that begin with HQ441 through HQ507 and 3X446 through 3X510. To view the model and serial numbers labeled on the bottom of the battery, you must remove the battery from the computer. The battery serial number is printed in black or dark-grey lettering beneath a bar code.

Please use the chart below to match your computer with the affected battery model number and serial number range. If your battery's serial number does not match the requirements listed below, you do not have to exchange your battery.

Computer model Battery model number Battery serial number range
12-inch iBook G4 A1061 HQ441-HQ507
12-inch PowerBook G4 A1079 3X446-3X510
15-inch PowerBook G4 A1078 3X446-3X509


What to do: To begin the battery exchange process, go to the Apple website at www.apple.com/support/batteryexchange. You will be asked for the serial number of your computer, the serial number of your battery, and a ship-to address. After serial number verification, a new battery will be shipped to you free of charge. You may exchange up to three batteries through the website. When you receive the replacement battery, please use the same shipping packaging and the included prepaid shipping label to return the recalled battery to Apple. If you do not have access to the website listed above, you can call Apple at 800-275-2273 between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., central standard time, seven days a week, for further assistance.

Thank you for your cooperation with this exchange program.

Apple

That's fine that you feel that way... don't forget that you're the one that forgot the laptop on our 1st meeting....

Then I was too busy and had to reschedule on our 2nd meeting date... We weren't able to agree on a meeting point and time afterwards and things just never worked out from there. Don't paint the image that I'm the only bad guy here...

This was completely unintentional and good luck with your sale.

as i said to you via PM, that is just not true. The deal was always that you would pick it up. I was headed down to OC so i thought i would do you a favor, but it didn't work out. After that you cancelled another meeting at the very last minute, even after we confirmed it that morning, which caused me to miss an entire afternoon of work.

Then you told me that you would pick it up at Lucent while i was out of town. So, during an extremely busy week before i went out of town for a week, i had to arrange to get the laptop to Lucent. Again you did not pick it up and now it is sitting there, where i once again have to go out of my way to pick it up.

You are dishonest, period end of paragraph.

please do not ever contact me again or post in this listing.
