Default iMac for sale

$250 OBO.

I don't know anything about macs. There is a sticker on the bottom, says its 800mhz, 256 MB ram, 60 gig HD. When you power it up you can hear it start, and the screen lights up. About 5 minutes later you get a folder icon in the center of the screen, alternating between a question mark and two faces. About 5 minutes after that you get a silver apple logo in the center of the screen and a loading circle that looks like it freezes. So I don't know whats wrong with it, I'm not a Mac guy. Everything is there, speakers, mouse, keyboard. Would prefer pickup, on Friday I might be able to meet up to a hour and a half away from where I'm at. I'm in Spring Hill, hour north of Tampa, 2 hours west of Orlando. I'll try to get pics up tommarow, it looks to be in great shape.

Like I said, not a mac guy, but to me it seems like a software issue? Would like this thing gone though, I'm not even sure why its here. So make a offer!!!

If I have to ship buyer will pay actual shipping, its heavy!

Do you have the operating system disks? If so, just pop it in and reinstall everything. I bet that would fix your problem, and maybe ask for more than $250.

Also, try ebay.

Sounds like a system problem, as that other guy said, just do a reinstall.

By the way, Macs are much better then PCs. They get basically no virius's, are more stable, are faster spec to spec, have better graphics, have better OS's. They get a bad rap only from non users. I have a Mac and a PC....I plan on getting rid of the PC and getting another Mac! I hateeeeeeeeeeeeeee Windows.

Very well might be....BUT it might be fixable.

Is this the older big iMac or the newer one with the flat screen?
