We bought a very gently used iBook off eBay. It still has 9 months of warranty left. My daughter paid $800 for it and it included a case, iSight camera still in box, and extra battery. The guy included the shipping as well. It looks like brand new. He did a fresh install of Tiger before sending and we got everything in the original boxes with the receipt included. It is really awesome, and she was so thrilled to get what she felt like was a really great deal.
I can't even imagine what the MacBooks must be like because this is a really awesome little machine! It's running updates right now.
The cool thing is; we turned it on and, from our house, it picked up the signal from our new wireless router (which we didn't think would go to our house because the outer walls of our school room are metal). So, it's sitting inside, connected to the net via satellite, automatically updating.
I know all you longtime Mac users probably can't understand how thrilled we are over the simple things, but GOSH WE LOVE MACS!!!
