Here's the problem:
Your computer accepts floppy discs.

$50 for a machine that is a decade old and can't run any modern software. Why not put that $50 towards a usable machine?

I swear, the first thing I thought when I saw the topic title was that you bought food from McDonalds.

I can easily get $30 out of EACH of them, and not only would I be making $10 profit, but I'd still have my win 98 I got in the package with it. Not only that, But I fixed the other mac. I picked it up. Then I shook it. Plugged it back in, and now it works fine. Kthx. That's a lot of effort for $10.

What I want to know is where he's getting these figures. Value is not always what people say it is. Supply and demand. Just because you have something doesn't mean someone wants it, and if they do, doesn't mean they want it at the price you set.

Just because you have something doesn't mean someone wants it, and if they do, doesn't mean they want it at the price you set. This is true, but look at it this way. Say you bought a rolls royce for $5,000. Good deal, right? Someone might say it's worth $350,000, and maybe it is. Say you sell it for $20,000. Was it still worth it to buy it? Apples and oranges. You aren't putting any type of work into the Rolls and are making 400% profit. With this... you have to put some work into it and you only get 20% profit, which doesn't take into account the cost of your time. Say you put in an hour into each machine. If you spent that time working, you'd get ~$9 (don't remember the minimum wage in Washington, but I think it's right around there) an hour or $18 total (let's say $12 after taxes). So... that'd actually be a $2 loss for you.

Depends, did it take you 20 years to sell it? josh: don't forget, he's supposed to claim the $10 he makes from selling it, so will only get about $8. At least where I live.

I'm a mac user, the boot is set up wrong by the sounds of things... totally different on OS X to what it used to be back in those days so i'm not sure on how you can get out of it... try changing the boot sequence if that doesn't work you may not have an OS installed or it may be corrupt try getting an old copy of the OS and reboot it with this (may be best to try and get the old floppy copies if you can't change the boot sequence)
