Hello,
I just recently had to let go of a G5 Mac and would love to get back into
PowerPCs. I've been looking around eBay, but there are very few machines
that really caught my eye. I'm mostly interested in a G4 PowerBook, as I do
not have any extra space for a full tower. I'm also hoping to find one for
less than $100 and in good condition (battery holds a charge, HDD works,
etc.). I am willing to provide more information on what I am looking for.
Alternatively, a better website to find some of these old Apple machines
would also be appreciated, as I can't seem to find many places that sell
old Macs. If you guys could help me on this issue, that would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks!

Have you already looked at the LEMSwap list? If there's nothing in the
recent posts put out a WTB and see who comes up with something. If you
don't need portability, you should also consider the G4 Mac Minis - they're
super compact and won't have the battery issues or price premium of the
MacBooks.
Also keep an eye on craigslist & FB marketplace, I do see G4 stuff pop up
occasionally there.

I think LEM Swap is a good place where only apple stuff is sold, and I
myself ended up striking a deal in this group to get a Power Macintosh 5200
with a 5500 board, but in terms of eBay alternatives, I like Mercari
because you can get a crazy deal on some of these older Macs, especially G3
and G4 laptops. Doing a search myself (although I already have a 2005
PowerBook G4 and 3 iBook G4s, it's easy to find the old G4 systems for less
than $100. I would also like to mention that I got ALL of my G4 laptops for
less than $100, and all my iBook G4s have good batteries. I may also be
able to recommend a G4 iMac since they have a unique compact design, but
for you, avoid the G4 Tower (if you're lucky you can find a cube for a good
price.) If you ever need buying help, I can spot a good deal.

Chris,
I might be able to help, though I’ll have to cobble together something from a stack of PPCs in my archive and it might take a month or so.
Send your contact info to my included email.

I'd get a Mac Cube. I got mine in a 'cube fire sale' a season before Intel
machines shipped- never has had a problem... tho' some did.
Seems that Apple tried to put some quality into the design, unlike the more
budget machines.
I recently got a G3 blue+white too- just like the one I had at Disney back
in '99. It is neat, tho' even brand new was very lethargic.
In comparison the cube performed well and really did get me through until
the 15" Intel Core Duo laptops went to fire-sale mode at Apple.
Now that Intel Core Duo Macbook Pro was a real piece of junk... tho' I
hobbled along with it until I got my 2012 Mac Mini... on a surprise fire
sale at Apple!
Other than work computers that is still the machine I use all the time-
it's been super good.
Pretty good : 2004-2019 and counting with three computer purchases.
My favorite would be the cube.

I’d concur on the cube. It’s my favorite as well. I still have one with a custom carrying case in storage with the matching monitor.

The cube is a fun design... If you ever have to open it up to replace
RAM, hard drive, etc., it's like you're in a Sci-Fi movie removing the
computer core.

Yes. <imagination>Release the control rods!</imagination> #AppleCube
Kuh-chunk. What other computer makes such a satisfying "kuh-chunk" sound
when you disassemble it?

Thanks for the help everyone! I was able to acquire a iBook G4 for
relatively cheap ($37). My only issue is with OSX, and I hope you guys can
help me. It currently runs 10.3 (Panther) but I would like to upgrade it to
Tiger. I was hoping for a way to upgrade it without buying a DVD. Do you
guys have any suggestions?
Thanks again!

The .iso file for OSX 10.4 is pretty easily found on the net.

I think if you boot in recover mode (command, option, r) if you are connected to the internet you will be directed to an Apple site that will supply you with the highest level OS for your Mac

So I've found a few ISOs that might work, my only problem is finding a way
to get the mac from booting from them. I have already exhausted my USB
options, and so I ordered a few CD+RW on amazon. My question is: if i burn
the ISO/DMG through my Windows PC, will my ibook read it?

You will need to burn the ISO to a DVD-RW. You cannot boot a PowerPC Mac from USB. If it is in DMG format, you will need to burn it to disc from another Mac. While booting the iBook, hold down the “Option” key to get a list of bootable devices and choose a startup device.

Leopard (10.5) was the first Mac OS X for Intel x86. Tiger (10.4) was a single release for PowerPC.
OP might want to be sure they have at least 512 MB RAM to run Tiger.

Negative, there were both Intel and PPC versions of 10.4. 10.5 was the
last for PPC.

Da Wikipedia:
- Mac OS X 10.4.11 (PowerPC: build 8S165, Intel: build 8S2167),
distribuito il 14 novembre 2007 <wmfapp://host/wiki/2007>
