Hi Rob, I'd search eBay to see what they're going for.
This site lists... Est. Current Retail: US$700-US$900
But many consider those prices high...

What is my iBook worth?

I have an ibook g4 purchased in late 2005. I am getting ready to sell it to upgrade to a new macbook pro and was curious what the computer is worth in the ibook are these specs: 1.42 ghz, 512mb ram, 60 gig hard drive, cd-r, cd-rw, dvd-r drive. thanks for any help also email if interested looking to put the computer on ebay or Craig's list

Low End Mac had lists of dealers selling used Macs. You might want to check some of these dealers and also eBay to get a feel of what you might get. These dealers test the units and some offer a 30-day warranty, so you might not get quite what they do.

I'm not trying to sell it. Delta Airlines crushed it. I would understand that the plane might sway and might hit the computer, I understand that it might be thrown into the plane, I understand that it might be tossed into the the cart and all that. What I don't understand is how does a well packaged, 60lb, stable-cube-of-a-box with fragile stickers gets thrown off and ran over with the luggage transport? I would think it's their responsibility at that point. Carelessness.
Just need to know how much it's worth. Stripped down with 1GB, no Airport, and no 300GB HD, originally sold for $2,884 back then.
I estimated $2,500 today.
What do you think?
Any help would help so so much. Thank you all!

I took in a lot of consideration of what this whole thing caused me to do.
I didn't add that that as soon as I heard it was crushed, me and my partner wasted no time to find a replacement computer for the job we were working on. We ended up buying a Mac Pro and finished the After Effects job using a 1GB stick of RAM (which I dreaded throughout the whole project).
I went ahead and sent a letter to Delta Corporate and asked for about $4,500 in damages and replacement parts. I need two new drives (the work in there is priceless, it has years of design work) and other parts in which costs me more money to replace.
There is a typed up story if anyone wants to take a gander at. It's at http://www.orangeglue.com/delta - I made it with iWeb 08' (it came with the Mac Pro, I wanted to see what the hype was about and man, Apple adds a bunch of code to make a simple site like that function, but it's understood since it's a WYSIWYG) I posted Pictures as well.
Anyways, I'm still working with a 1GB chip and man it *****. I can't wait any longer for the response from Delta, so I'm deciding to buy new RAM now but am having difficulty. I added a new thread for that http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1111785 - With Delta, I'm hoping it get's reimbursed.
Thanks everyone for your responses!
I'll keep this thread up to let you know on Final Details on what went on with my G5 and the Corporate People of Delta and how they treated this situation.

What is an MDD worth these days?

I'm considering an upgrade, but don't know if it's worth trying to sell my MDD 1.25. I took a quick look on ebay and I see one posted for 450 in a buy it now. Anyone sell or buy one recently? I think I'd be packaging it with the MOTU 2408 audio recording hardware, and it's got 2 hd'S and 2 disc drives.
I suppose this is a subjective issue...what it's worth to me might not be someone else's preference....but still, it would be helpful to hear some opinions.

I've always found this site to be pretty reliable as far as current market prices,
and have sold / traded machines at what they estimate the cost is, minus 15% for every year
the machine has been in use:
http://www.everymac.com
and according to them this is your current (base) worth of your mac:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/stats/powermac_g4_1.25_dp_mdd. html
So in this example, they estimate that if your machine was NEVER used, still in a box,
with all OEM accessories and software, it's worth $675.
A 3 year running in service machine would be 45% ( 3 x 15%) LESS than $675, or
$371, a five year running machine would be 75% (5 x 15%) LESS than $675, or
$169.
Your accessories, if they are new, you could add the cost of them back in.
If they have been in the machine for a year or more, deduct 15% off their retail cost, per yr of operation.
So say you have a five year running 1.25MDD ($169), you added a WDD 320GB HD
(retail $75-(5x15%)=$0) + a second Optical Pioneer superdrive ($30 -(5 x 15%)=$0)
all bought from newegg.com, then you'd sell it for $169.
Now, same scenario, but you just bought the optical drive
( less than a year old, with receipt of purchase)
and you just bought the WDD 320GB HD
( less than a year old, with reciept of purchase),
then you could charge ($169+$75+$30=)$275.
Keep in mind, when a person is buying a used computer, its like buying a used car:
Their goal is to buy a machine in the hopes that all the major "kinks" have been
worked out, and if not, buy it at close to FMV ( Fair Market Value) so as not
to get "buyers remorse" when the first major repair comes along.
If you've done the majors (replaced an OEM boot Drive, and OEM optical drive,
the PSU /Cooling Fan exchange) it goes a long way in your favor and asking price.

What´s the parts worth?

Hey guys,
I have a macbook pro that recently broke down. It´s the next-to newest model, 5 yrs used, and now missing a functioning screen and also a hard-drive
Any idea what the spare parts can be worth? I guess I can sell the battery and the powercord but apart from that, is anything, well, of any use?
Thank you so much, you guys rock

Check Craigslist.

What's my iMac worth?

Hey, hopefully i'm not breaking any rules posing this type of message
I'm looking at buying a new iMac and want to sell my current one but not sure what to ask for it. Its 20" Intel-based White iMac, Dual Core 2.17ghz, 2gb RAM, 128mb ATI graphics card. (Just under 2.5yrs old)
Anyone got any thoughts on what I should ask for it?
I'm in Australia so $AUD is preferable. I was thing $600 or $700??

You can search eBay for completed auctions of similar models.
I'd say you could probably get more. Gainsaver sells that model for about $700
[Same model at Gainsaver.com|http://www.gainsaver.com/Catalog/Detail.aspx?&CCode=1015^Apple&CC ode=1024^iMacs&PageIndex=0&PageMax=40&cICode=62154]
but you have to add a lot of options to make it spec'ed like your iMac, although you will probably not get as much as a vendor (for the same specs) who provides a limited warranty. If it's in good shape, you may find buyers who desire it because it is the last iMac that does not have the glass-covered display (glossy versus matte), and it is the first with Core 2 Duo (64-bit), so it will be well-supported with Snow Leopard once that gets released in a few weeks.

What apps are worth buying?

I was wondering what apps/games are worth paying for and they have no viruses? thanks

The apps in the Apple app store are checked to be sure they are free of virus and other malcontents.
The ones to buy are based on your needs or likes...do you need to word process - Pages, on an iPad, do you need to read/use PDF files - GoodReader, do you need to make presentations - Keynote, games depends on what kind you like to play, solitaire, and so on.

Whats my Mac worth when sick ?

I have a DP 1.25Ghz PowerMac, 1.5 GB of Apple certified/purchased Samsung RAM , dual 80GB Seagate Barracuda drives. All original carton , manuals etc.
But I think my logic board is going out , if I were to cut my losses. What would it be worth on the net or in general ?

Spencer, just curious, what makes you think the logic board is going bad? I'm just curious because I have the same machine and it has always been kinda crash-prone... and my many troubleshooting attempts have never made it nearly as stable as other OSX machines I've used...
Does it sometimes crash/freeze for no apparent reason?

What are the best ways to recycle used Apple products?

I currently have a iPhone 4 (32 GB, Black) and a Macbook Pro (Mid-2009, 2.53 GHz, 250 GB storage, 4 GB memory) that I don't use anymore. I'm looking into recycling them or selling them but I'm not sure about:
a) What the products are worth - the iPhone looks brand new and the Macbook Pro is in fair condition but needs a battery replacement
b) Which recycling programs to go with - Apple's PowerON program has shady reviews and I'm not sure whether to trust sites like 'gazelle'
If anyone has any advice on recycling or selling their Apple products, let me know. Thanks!

jess_ek,
To get an idea of what the products are worth, take a look at recent winning bids on online auction sites for identical items to yours in similar condition.
If you prefer to recycle rather than to sell, you could donate them to iFixit, which will make maximum use of their parts to help keep other iPhones and MacBook Pros running. If you’d prefer to sell them, you could offer them as individual lots on online auction sites, or advertise them for sale on online classified ad sites.

What is the best way to backup my Macbook Pro before I install new operating system?

I want to back it up externally. I don't know how to burn a CD on my macbook and that may be an option. What other options are out there that will back up everything stored on my laptop. Thanks!

DO BOTH, your data is worth more than the price of drives these days. (Think about about what your data is worth to you vs. a few bucks.
Most of the long time users here advocate this method, a clone, and a TM data backup.
I also use an archive drive to store pics, vids, music, to keep my internal drive relatively empty. his helps keep the internal drive from having to search extensively (taking more time & putting more use on it, increasing the failure factor) while still having the backups... well for backups, and this allows me to access and manipulate those files without disrupting the back ups.
I think I spent about $400 for the 3 drives, well worth it, it's not if your drive will fail, rather when.

Stuck in recovery ... can't erase ... now what?

Okay, I've tried it all! Now what? Is it worth taking to a Mac fixer or should I pitch it and buy new. My son has had his Nano 2nd generation for 3 years with no problems. BTW: I've updated to 7.7, I've set the ipod to disk mode, I've left it charging for at least 30 minutes. I opened disk utility and clicked delete (and it won't! disk utility just quits). I get one of three messages in iTunes when I connect and reconnect: iTunes has detected an ipod that may be corrupt. You should restore" (but I can't because then iTunes promptly quits) OR "You have plugged in a device that Mac OS cannot read." OR iTunes detects an iPod in recovery mode."
So break it to me. Would it be worth getting fixed or do I tell my son, well, you got 3 good years out of it ... at $230! Arghhhh!

Did you try forcing the iPod into disk mode first?
Ensure the HOLD switch is OFF so that there is NO orange color showing beneath the switch. Then, press and hold the MENU and the SELECT (center) buttons together for about 10 seconds, until you see an Apple logo. When you see the Apple, IMMEDIATELY press and hold the SELECT (center) and the PLAY/PAUSE buttons together until you see a check mark, and the iPod says "Disk Mode, OK to Disconnect."
If not, try that and then see if you can either restore through iTunes (I'd try that first) or reformat through Disk Utility. If you can reformat it with Disk Utility, try to restore in iTunes after that.
If it is absolutely dead, you might want to consider replacement options. Sounds like the nano is probably a 4 GB.
Apple can replace it out of warranty for $99 USD
(from: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/#us )
and the replacement will carry 90 days of hardware coverage.
You can also purchase a refurbished 4GB new nano for $99, which gives you your full year warranty. (I recommend refurbished products from Apple without hesitation... several iPods and this MacBook, no problems).
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?sf=wHF2 F2PHCCCX72KDY&nclm=Certified
I believe you can also trade it in at an Apple retail store for 10% off of a new iPod.

Airport 2nd Gen. Not Working; Worth Selling?

Hello,
Recently upgraded to a 5th Generation that seems to be working better with modem. With 2nd Generation would have to unplug the router to connect to the internet several times daily. The firmware on the 2nd was updated. I was using 2.4ghz not 5 if it even would make a difference. Is the older Airport even worth salvaging? I thought about selling on eBay as is. Would appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

Check Ebay to see what other similar models are selling for to get an idea of what it might be worth.
