I really want a G5 or some kind of Mac, and I have a pretty good Alienware, but I can't figure out a place to trade. I tried selling my PC on ebay, but I put up a picture from Alienware's site, and they contacted ebay and said the picture was copyrighted, so they deleted my auction, and said if I list it again, alienware will request my account be terminated, wow, thanks alienware.



Anyways....I dono if this is allowed to be posted here, but I really don't like PC's, and I want a Mac.

    You can select your city on the right-side of the page. Maybe someone in your area wants to trade.

    I guess the trick is you have to find someone dumb enough to trade a G5 Mac for an Alienware PC. Macs have high, high, high resale values. Most people realize this.



    I swear, you must have a digital camera. If not, go online, fund someone who took photos of his Alienware PC, and send an email to him requesting fair use.
