Yeah that is overpriced. Quite literally almost a month ago I bought a GameCube from CeX for £110 with the original box and everything! Still a steep price but better than what i’ve seen them go for on eBay.

Re: Obscenely Overpriced Vintage Electronics
Speaking of Xbox...
someone first gave it a price tag of 1000zł (227 usd) but then must've realised it and set it waaaay low down to 200zł (45 usd). Best thing is that its console only, no games, no game pads, just the console. Also for the EXACT same price you can find a xbox that has 2 controllers, a game, and all of the cables.
Also someone listed "Battlefiel 2042" for 450 usd, but then cut down the price to 40 usd. Even EA sells it for less on sales...
Goin' Flipmode!

Lmao I love how it says it was bought new "a few years ago", but it's running (I'm pretty sure) Leopard, an operating system released 12 years before 2019.

This is only 25x what I paid for the computer I was thinking of installing the card in

Re: Obscenely Overpriced Vintage Electronics
I like the idea that most of the preinstalled software has not been launched and is therefore still brand new
Re: Obscenely Overpriced Vintage Electronics
This was exactly my reaction and every time I see something like this I lose faith in humanity. I mean how can someone be that "unsmart" or do I miss something there?
Re: Obscenely Overpriced Vintage Electronics
"1000 lei" (219 usd as of 1/14/23)
>mfw when you can literally get the same laptop for around 200 lei (43 usd as of 1/14/23) (sometimes even less)
Re: Obscenely Overpriced Vintage Electronics
Looking back, the iBook G3/G4 were probably the most boring of the early 2000s Apple designs. I don't know what it is, but they just feel really bland and uninspired, even compared to similar looking designs like the iMac G5.
Re: Obscenely Overpriced Vintage Electronics
the 14 inch, sure, the 12 inch is adorable and i will die on this hill. the keyboard touching the very edge of the case is so cute to me and just shows how tiny they are, same goes for the 12 inch powerbook g4MattKC wrote: ↑Mon Jan 16, 2023 4:53 pmControversial/offtopic opinion time

Re: Obscenely Overpriced Vintage Electronics
Somewhat offtopic, but I just saw a much better attempt at this sort of thing:Wam wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 2:28 pm I once saw this absolutely obscenely painted PowerMac G5 """Bondi Blue""" going for well over double what I paid for mine, somewhere around £300. In the end I believe it went for somewhere around £50 because seriously who the fuck would pay for a PowerMac with such an awful goddamn paintjob.

While I feel slightly uneasy about seeing a modded G4 Cube knowing how rare/expensive they are, of course people are allowed to do what they want with their things, and again it's a pretty good job.

Re: Obscenely Overpriced Vintage Electronics
Imagine paying $10,000 for an iMac G3 from the Facebook Marketplace when you can buy them cheaper on eBay.
