$5 Apple

Filed under: Geek — don @ 6:01 pm

I’ve wanted a Mac for a while but I couldn’t justify spending much on one. I finally looked on Ebay and found an old iMac located out in Oxnard and the bid was at $2.25. I bid $2.50 and put in a max bid of $5.00. I didn’t think there was any chance but a few days later I was told I won. The guy who had it sent me a message asking if I was going to pick it up or did I want him to ship it. I said I would drive out on Saturday and so today Betty and I did.

He said it turned on but he didn’t have a mouse or keyboard so he didn’t know if it worked. When I got it home I plugged in a mouse and turned it on. It works like a champ. I will need to get a keyboard but that should be around $5 too. Not really sure what I’ll do with it but I’ve been wanting to relearn the Mac OS so this is perfect.
