Price Check: Pegasos System

[Splurge]

I have no idea how much these go for these days, but I have a Peg1 with the april II cpu update.  Running 1gb ram and fresh MOS 1.4.5 install.

No real need for it anymore.  I did put it in a new atx case since the old one was pretty beat up.

Thanks all!

Probably worth less than a PowerMac and they go for around £50 on ebay with higher specs.

You might find a collector or someone who wants a cheap AOS4 system, but the market for a G3 powered Peg1 might be a little soft.
With the introduction of Mac support to MorphOS, the price for MOS hardware is at an all time low.
The primary reason Peg2 systems still command a relatively good price is that they can run both MOS and AOS4, and their performance (relative to other AOS4 platforms) is quite good.
I notice you bought an Acube based system for your AOS4.1 install, so I would assume that it was superior to the Peg1.
That doesn't bode well for your prospects selling the Peg.

OS4 doesn't run on the Peg 1.

OS4 doesn't run on the Peg 1.

Only the Peg2?
Well, I'd edit the above text, but it would just confuse people.

OK, lets me reappraise this. Nicholas was being kind.
With the low prices that G4 Macs carry, only someone that's into pain is going to want a G3 level MOS system.

There are people that collect Pegasos systems, I know some, regardless if MorphOS is running on old PowerPC Macs. My estimate is around 150-250 euros according to specs and extras.

Well, if there are collectors, then that's your best bet.
Just like people that want to collect multiple Amiga models, I'm sure there are people who might want other Pegasos models (than the Peg2).
And you do have the April CPU fix on your board so its not plagued with the bugs earlier Peg1s had.

Didn't mean my last post to come off too harsh, but as your aware (since you're selling the system) what you've got isn't a fast performer (although I'm sure its faster than a PPC equipped Amiga).

Just sold my Peg1 april2 fixed. I got 1000SEK for it (approx 112€). Mine only had 512MB RAM though.

Thanks a lot for the advice guys.  To save on shipping maybe just the board, ram and hard drive.

If I can get $165 shipped for it minus the case, I'd be happy.
