The only way I would have bid on that G3 was if it was local pickup with no other bidders. It's nice, but definitely not worth $50 after shipping is figured in. I also check the sellers of items I am bidding on to see if they have anything else I can use. When I got my second Powerbook 150, I checked out the sellers other lisitings and he also had a 1400CS closing in 30 seconds so I sniped it and got both for the same shipping price.
