sethrd Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 I was looking on E-Bay for a Mac, as I'm going to be a switcher when school starts, and I came across this. Why is it so expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eye_see_you Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 did you look at whats in this thing , compare it to the apple website and I bet you will come up with about the same price ..... its only about the best of most things that apple has to offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted June 9, 2003 Veteran Share Posted June 9, 2003 They don't even sell half that stuff on Apple.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 You really don't need all that stuff. :p The reason it's so expensive is because it's like all of Apple's/Apple's Developers main software put in one, and some of that's pretty expensive. I'd say all you need is Photoshop and Illustrator for any media, and maybe Final Cut Pro. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excessdl Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 the guy's never sold anything on ebay and his first try is for 39k.. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isus Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 it costs so much bc it's a media comp... for making music and stuff. production studio comps never come cheap. but i don't think this comp is worth it. which is why noone has put in a bid.

Wolvereen Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 The reason why is in the description, its a video editing station. Not jsut a computer, an ENTIRE setup Media 100 i/XR DV/DSI card is about 12k Monitor is about 3k Mackie 1604 is about 1k Mac is about 4k NTSC Monitor about 1k Roland speakers about 1k DSR40 (DV Deck) is about about 5-6k Black Burst Gen about 1K Service contract about 1-2k He's a little on the hight end, but its probably from a lease that was based upon the orignal price of the products. DSR40's have come down a LOT in the past couple years. They used to be around 10k.... I am guessing this is a small post production house that is going out of business or an internet streaming company liquidating some resources....
