400+ USD (on sale btw) for a GameCube bundle

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.

One word. Why?

Is this a freaking Windows XP Pro license or a damn Windows Server license what the fuck

Over $200 for an Xbox that Has Some Issues With DVD Drive? What a steal

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...

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

I like the idea that most of the preinstalled software has not been launched and is therefore still brand new

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?

"Laptop for collectors vintage Apple Ibook G4 1,2 Ghz"
"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)

Controversial/offtopic opinion time

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.

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 g4

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.

Somewhat offtopic, but I just saw a much better attempt at this sort of thing:

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.

Imagine paying $10,000 for an iMac G3 from the Facebook Marketplace when you can buy them cheaper on eBay.
