    Times are hard right now, and I'm not really finding the time to enjoy what I usually enjoy, MorphOS and Amiga being one of them.

    Well I think I may do it and sell the Mac Mini. The DVD-ROM still works good enough to read my MorphOS boot disc, though I've not used that part much since I've owned it, so I can't say for sure how good a shape it is in. I did notice though that if something is sitting on top the iMac, that it has a difficult time reading disks. Even a light statue. Strange.

    Anyhow, other than that, it's in good physical condition. It comes with the license of course, as well as a Wireless USB Laser Mouse, a small usb Basic Keyboard (neither are Apple originals), 1Gb RAM, and a 80Gb Hard Drive.

    Asking $195 obo. Plus shipping.


    BTW, I will return to the scene eventually.

    EDIT: I was lo balling my self. Sorry, I'm hard up.

    If it has MorphOS Key it's better for you to sell it inside Amiga/MorphOS community or nobody I mean normal Mac users) will pay you the extra cost of MorphOS license.

    Sorry to hear about this X.
    Nice price for a system with a license.

    How much should I really be asking? Someone else said it was low in Amiga.org.

    I mean, I'd love to get someone new into MorphOS, but at the same time, I'm hard up for cash. :)

    Well, considering its a 1.5 GHz model, $200 is probably closer to its real value (even without considering the MorphOS license).
    But...I will caution you that its much easier to find a buyer for something when the price represents a bargain.
    I haven't done as much Ebay business as Redrumloa has, but I've done enough to know how easy it is to price yourself out of a sale.

    Hmm, well maybe I'll just up it to $180. That would still be like getting the lisence free. :)

    Thank you!

    You are asking too low. List it to ebay for $250 buy it now and free local shipping and watch it get snapped up in a few days.

    Red: Thankx for the advice, but honestly, if this did not goto an Amiga or MorphOS user, I would loose sleep over it. I think I'll jack it up a few buck (OBO) and leave it at that.

    Thankx again for all the advice!

    It is still a very good price considering it has a MOS key. It should be snapped up if the message gets out. maybe change the title to say "For sale" instead of "might be" and put price in the title.

    Fully listed properly on eBay it would almost certainly sell to an Amigan/Morphian.

    I thought I did change the title. Alright, it is corrected now.
