Getting a new system, need to sell this one. I'm not looking for much, make an offer I'll probably take it...

*AMD Athlon 600Mhz CPU
*256MB PC100 RAM
*IBM 18GB 7200rpm
*Pioneer 10X DVD ROM Drive
*ATI All-In-Wonder 128 16MB
*Sound Blaster Live! PCI Sound Card
*U.S. Robotics 56K Data/Voice/Fax modem (Internal)
*Standard 1.44MB Floppy Drive
*250W P/S

Everything is working fine, nothing was ever o'clocked or altered in any way. Case was never even opened! Email or reply with your best offer.
I'm located in NJ, and buyer can pick up directly or pay for shipping of choice.

How much are you looking to sell it for? I'll give you $200. It's a Slot A processor, right? Who makes the Mobo?

Are you looking to sell it all as a package? Cause I don't need the DVD or the IBM hard drive.

Let me know?

Not really! Check Price Watch. I mean if you could tell me that it is a socket A processor instead of a slot maybe I would offer more. Without the hard drive and the DVD I think that is a pretty good offer.

All you had to do is say No. I don't need it, just wanted to see what you would say about that price!

Have you sold this one yet? I didn't think so.

All I did was give you an offer which you asked for and asked you how much you wanted for it. I can get a 1.3ghz CPU with a DDR memory and montherboard for $500 so why would I want to spend anymore then I have to on a SLOT A 600mhz system?

that's like going to a shandelire store and saying "I'll give you $5 for that chandalere." "But the price tag says $2,000, sir." "But all it does it create light in my house!"

Give me a break. Where I live you could get $600 for it.

Grizly, I'd like very much to see you sell a 486 for $200 -- US OR Canadian...
and if you do, I'd even more like to see the sucker who went for it:)

'cause I know guys who could sell him some good, $700 PS2 consoles ;-)

LOL, take it easy. The guy your replying to (Grizely1) isn't selling the system, I am. Sorry, I don't have the time to sell it piece by piece so it's all or nothing. I'll take $500 + shipping of your choice. Its a good solid system, well worth it.

***$350CAN*** for a 486??????

My friend got a colour Pentium notebook for Under $200 CAN...

gimme a break -- you can go to Futureshop and get a complete brand new system for way, way under $1000. Heck, they sell 600MHz emachines for $500CAN after rebates ($600Cash before rebates). Sure, we may snub at it, but compared to a 486, I'm sure for another $150 its worth it...

Geez, it must take a special kind of sucker to buy a 486 for $350... :(

They're going like mad, it's nuts. (BTW the 600MHz EMachines are Celeron and have 32mb of memory, oxygen 1mb video cards and cheapo stuff like that).

OF course its the cheapo stuff... I'm not debating that...
but it's 600Mhz, 32MB, 10GB, 40x, 56k, WinME for $500!!!
How can anybody buy a 486 for $350???
How can you try to compare a 486 to that machine? It would smoke it into the ground and keep drilling!!!

>>They're going like mad, it's nuts.
my choice of words exactly!!! :)

>>the only difference virturally is the CD-ROM and CPU.

and about what, 6-10 years on the age of electronic components, including the ever-spinning hard-drives?
Besides, 32MB of SDRAM is hardly the same as 32MB of EDO or FPM RAM... and similar for all the other components...
there are USB ports and 'small' issues like that...
And are you selling 10GB drives in those 486's, with WinME original licenses?

Lets me put it this way... if you sell a 486 for $350 -- good for you, I say:)
You're a businessman, if you can find a sucker, you obviously go for it. That's why I'm not a businessman -- I don't think I'd ever manage to sell a $350 486 :-(

But don't try to tell me that it's actually worth nearly that much... I find certain offense that you'd even think you could sell me on that concept:-(

Man two years ago, somebody gave me a 486/DX 50 system with harddrive, cdrom, sound and modem. I think we need to get some realistic prices.

Well brand new price for a 650 Slot A, mobo, and pc100 256=$176 without shipping. And thats all new. For everything else in the case, I wouldnt pay over $300 because its all used and at best the chip is almost a year and a half old.
