Frankly, I'm suprised he isn't charging over retail since it is completely
impossible to put your hands on *any* PowerBook right now (and the
foreseeable future, my best friend ordered his a week after I got mine,
and he is still waiting. Every week he gets a call saying that Apple has
backordered and is delaying for 4 weeks).

$3000 retail is about right. Of course, I'd part with mine for $2750 ;-)
