Hey you guys,

sorry I haven't been around lately, thought for a long time I wasn't going to get a clié (Accord Sedans are expensive! especially for a HS student!) but xmas blessed me with a nice amount of $$ that my parents aren't actually going to take away to cover car costs. So I figured I'd get a clié. Few questions:
1) I think myInfinity.com had the best price on the silver NX (not getting gunmetal) for 519. see any prices out there that are better?
2)I have 3 Palm m515's. I figure I better sell some before buying the new one. First, how much should I expect for each? All of them have never had the screen touched (thanks to applying a screen protector the instant I got them) and none of them have any dead pixels.
3) I have a mac (powerMac QS G4 867MHz) running OS X. I have iSync and Palm Desktop installed. Do I need anything else like the missing sync?
-Thanks ya all!

You can save a few bucks by buying it at Staples, and doing a 110% pricematch to myinfinity.

Search the closed auctions on eBay for going prices on the M515.

Try eBay, seems to me that the prices have come down a bit. Just stick with one of the better sellers, you should do just fine.

if you buy online PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use www.resellerratings.com before AND after your purchase so that you (and others like you) don't get shammed by the cons that are out there selling electronics.

also, i was attracted to the clie because of the *potential* to use the cf slot with my 1gb microdrive... most people are not, but if you ARE looking at the clie for what you THINK you can do with it... think longer about it. in the end, i decided to take the plunge anyway, but i'm just saying you want to be sure... unless you have money to burn.

Thanks guys for the help - and thank you reggae for the suggestion - pulled up myinfinity's record - doesn't look so good. I called up staples and it seemedl like they'd do the price match, only problem is that state tax in Cal is 8.25 % so I save an additional 10 going with staples (still good - comes out to like 520 ish?) Will pick up one soon :)
