GarageSale iBooks all gone...

[Harbourmaster]

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??

[C(-)ris]

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.

and these supposedly are BROKEN, right?

>>and these supposedly are BROKEN, right?

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.
