GarageSale iBooks all gone... - Harbourmaster - 03-13-2007
Looks like the SmallDog GS iBooks are all sold out. I caved in this morning and bought 2, there were still 8 available when I bought mine at around 10:00AM PST.
Anybody get theirs yet??

They probably waited till they were all sold before they started mailing them. Wouldn't want people to actually know what they are getting. I mean, not only were the discriptions vauge...what little info they gave was 90% wrong.

mine are due to arrive tomorrow. i was hoping it would arrive before they sold out.
don't we have a forum member up in vermont? he/she should have popped by and picked one up so they could report back to the forum.
it'll be interesting to hear everyone weigh in with what they got.

A number of us around here have a much smaller definition of "broken" than the general population.

i wish i would have known before i send $75 to someone for a replacement LCD.
$25 would have been an acceptable risk to take.

They were $25 iBooks. I haven't been able to figure out what people were hoping to find out by waiting. I would have assumed that each one has a different flaw/problem than the next.

This is what baffles me. It's an iBook that costs $25 and doesn't work. What could they be "hiding" from you?

I snagged several last year. All had bad mobos. I did tear down and sell pieces though (RAM, HD, CD-ROM, screens).

You never know with SD - I bought a G5 Dual 2.0GHz listed 'as-is unknown condition'
during their last Garage Sale - the case was thrashed but the computer booted fine and was still under Applecare. I ended up buying a new case for it, used it for a few months, then sold it on eBay and doubled my money.
