Used prices were (much*) better at CPUsed than at the London stores
(not surprising given the size of the markets).
New prices are pretty uniform across the province AFAIK.
*Mac Outpost seemed ludicrously high... PowerBook G3/400 64 MB RAM 6
GB HD for $699. Or, iBook G3/500 12" 192 MB RAM CD-ROM for $800 (Mac
Outpost) vs iBook G3/600 14" for $849 (CPUsed). Perhaps Mac Outpost
hasn't updated the pages?
