I have to confess that I'm surprised any G4 is selling for $300.

Me too!

Are the 17" ones particularly sought after or something?

It would seem so. They're almost entirely $300 and up. Even parts are more expensive in general. I think people must like the big screen or something. I know I do!

Maybe its me, but that price feels awfully close to impinging on low-end Macbook territory.

Yeah, it probably is. Most MacBooks that I've seen hover around the $250-$300 mark, so there is some overlap.

Hmm... doing a quick browsing of the local craigslist shows that MacBooks and PowerBooks alike are mostly the same price, although 12" and 15" PowerBooks dominate the $100-$250 range, with the 17" PowerBooks at $300 and up.

I think I'll try to take advantage of the current market and see if it'll sell for that price. It looks to me like it could.

If not, then I will post it here and everybody here will get a chance to name their own price.
