There's a thread for everything else so why not. If you got a free iBook and decided to sell it on ebay, how much did you get for it?
My auction has a little over 4 hours left and its at 800.

$800 is about all you'll get, because amazon.com had the iBook for $800 shipped...

I just put mine up on ebay... so far its its in the $200 range. An ebayer is now offering me $875 if I let him do a buy it now, and if I pay for shipping. Do you think I should do this deal Shaggy???
Shaggy135
24-12-2005 20:07:25
Ya I would take it. Even if shipping is $25 you still make about $850. I would do it. And they have been selling between $700 - 900. So you're in the top of the range. But you could chance it and let the auction go. Its up to you.

I would have kept mine except I'm a windows person. It is a cool laptop though. Everything I would want in a laptop except maybe add a dvd burner and a different operating system. But thats just me. Once my auction is over I'll probably use my profit to buy another laptop off of ebay.

Did you get those Dell's off of ebay or of dell.com?
LucaBella
24-12-2005 22:53:31
dell.com
ordered from the EPP site when they had the stackable coupons....
damned hot deal.
Shaggy135
24-12-2005 22:58:40
Whats the EPP site?
nistlerooy
24-12-2005 23:22:28
I went ahead and took the deal for $875, I got payed right away. After ebay fee's and shipping I'll have about $820 profit... D I'm really really glad I did this site, Thanks Junior!!!

Dell's EPP site is the employee purchase plan. Basically if your company has the deal with dell, everyone at the company gets a special code to use to qualify for discounts. usually they suck, but if you get some stackable coupons, you're laughing, mate.

Well my auction ended at $800. Still not bad for something that didn't really cost me anything. And I did open it and play around with the OS. So $800 for an open box practicaly new iBook that cost me almost nothing. Next on my to do list Free IBM laptop. ;-) I might keep that one though.

2 questions

2. Is there any way to get an EPP account other than what you've mentioned

haha, I'm gangsta, lol. Junior you rock.
the reason you get the aussie vibe is the use of "mate" at the end of a british phrase "you're laughing" so.. hehe. I'm all multicultural.
Anyway, you can just search online for someone's EPP number and claim you work for the company, they don't check.. but it's sorta kinda wrong, hehe.
cheers!

well mine sold for $780 -- but the guy backed out and I traded them for 4 ipod nanos at the apple store -- I sold each nano for 328.99 -- then took the $$ to the ipod store -- and purchased another 10 using my tax cert (so I did not pay tax) and resold them for $299 each.
profit about $1500 when done ...
JUNIOR6886
25-12-2005 17:55:18
the only reason your nanos sold for 329 was because of the holiday rush
you should have kept the profit and quit right then and there. With the holiday season over its going to be difficult to sell the nanos for more than msrp......

I am pretty torn on what to do here. I have this iBook sitting here, I am thinking about trying to go return it compusa tomorrow, I read that they take stuff without a receipt if its not opened. But I really want this sony HDTV and they dont have it there. I already tried the Apple store they said they wont take it without a receipt. Ebay is looking like maybe my only option, but it looks like they are going for about 800 right now, when its possible to get like 1000 giftcard somewhere. Anyone got any advice for any retail stores that might take it, that also have TV's?

CompUSA will not take it back -- they only accept returns within 15 days and with a receipt. A high ticket item like that is hard to get credit on. It took me 3 apple stores before I got my swap ...
Your gonna have to ebay it ...

Well after my paypal fees I ended up with about $817 for my ibook. And after looking on BestBuy.com and seeing their $300 off notebooks sale, I just bought a Toshiba Satellite notebook with a 1.6Ghz prossessor, 80G HD, 512MB DDR SDRAM, a Dual layer DVD burner, and internal wireless, all for about $813. So I think I ended up ok.

I got $900 for mine. eBay people will buy things for more than they are selling sometimes. Most of the time they aren't very good at searching for the best deal, they assume eBay is the best deal...
