Im trying to negotiate with a guy to swap a 1.6 iMac G5 with 1Gig of Ram for my eMac (1.25 G4, 1GIG of ram) as well as a laptop (1.6 centrino, 512 Ram). He is selling the iMac for £600 on Gumtree, and i was wondering whether you reckon he would accept my offer, or if you think I should add some more in terms of cash on top. I dont need a laptop anymore and I really want one of the new iMac designs.

Help!

I wouldn't swap hardware over the internet with someone period, but thats just my opinion.

Don't offer him anymore for it and wait for his response, if he doesn't accept them offer him more if you really want it?

deal fell through...he said he would only want a laptop made by a good brand- "dell etc"

I thought Systemax were quite good, using good components, and since they make the laptops of a lot of these "good brands"...ah well, spose it was never meant to be.
