[WTS] iMac A1311 for sale, only $149

Hey all. I am selling an iMac A1311 from Late 2009. It is in pretty much perfect condition; more on that at the bottom.

Specs:

21.5" 1080p screen
3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo processor
7200 RPM 500GB HDD
8GB RAM (it was upgraded from stock)

My price is $199 or the best offer; when doing the transaction, we can just convert it to the Bitcoin equivalent.

I will use a multisig wallet as escrow.

There are a couple very minor cosmetic flaws. A 5 mm piece of aluminum is chipped just behind the optical drive; this does not impede functionality of the optical drive/SD card reader in any way. If you view the screen from the side, you will see a very faint scratch down the left side; in normal use it is practically invisible.

It is currently running macOS High Sierra, but I can install any macOS or Linux you want (don't any of you prank me to install Arch or Gentoo).

I will use a multisig wallet as escrow. As of this post I am setting that up.

Thanks for the tips. I looked at my local Craigslist and saw that a similar model was selling for around my price; of course, bitcoin prices have fluctuated like crazy since then. I'll price it conservatively as a buffer if prices rise.

You're right about tracking, but doesn't using Tor to access wallets mitigate much of it? I know Bitcoin transfers from address to address can be tracked, but couldn't I also transfer it to some anonymous currency (like Monero) and transfer that currency, cloaked, to my own address?

Also (and this is just scientific), how can you use different receiving addresses with the same wallet? Shouldn't that make it hard /impossible to verify transactions?

Hey guys, this is my first time here, and I figured I'd get into bitcoin. Especially now, since the price is dropping, but it is a great long-term investment since it's the future of decentralized, untracked cash. So if I get some stuff wrong please correct me.

I'm selling a 21.5" iMac from late 2009, model number A1311. It is in almost perfect condition. Specs:

3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo
8GB RAM (upgraded)
7200 RPM 500GB HDD
1080p display

It is the perfect computer for office work, maybe as a kid's computer, or just a cheap backup computer. At the moment it is running High Sierra, but I can install Windows/Linux if you want, though I'm not touching drivers.

There are a couple *cosmetic* imperfections. If you view the screen off to the side at full brightness, you can just make out a vertical scratch down the far left side that's barely visible. You have to try really hard to see it though so it's basically irrelevant. Also, there is a tiny chip in the aluminum just behind the optical drive; this does not impede functionality as the optical drive/SD card reader work fine.

Since it's in basically perfect condition, I think 0.01 BTC is a good price, but give me your offers and I'll take the best one.

If it looks different than the description, it was probably damaged during shipping - just message me and I'll try to help. I'll try to pack it well though, to minimize that happening.
