Buying Used

Buying Used (Should be Buying USD)

Well, we though we had / would have caught up with Sjarns Ejeban (of 6moons.com), who had gotten his for free!

$2475

27" iMac | 3.5 GHz Core i7 | 32GB RAM | 4GB VRAM | 3TB Fusion Drive

His has a Gold (Golden) Sun Logo, over...

When buying used, it's important to buy on / from a good street, in a good area, from someone who is rich (not financially beholden).

When the iMac Retina 5K came out, it was $4,200.00 CDN (our age then, 42), fully (properly) configured. It had a gForce (and not an Raidon: who wants one of those?) 4 GB video.

Who cares if it is 4.0 GHz, with the Turbo always on or, 4.4 GHz, after? 4 is a good number!

The 3 TB is just enough for an OS and major (audio) applications (and a 16-bit, 44.1 kHz CD audio collection), providing you buy a Pegasus or two, for HD audio.

Why I'm Selling
This is my work machine but I'm traveling now and need something more portable. If I didn't need something portable, I would definitely keep this machine as it's been PERFECT! The 27" Screen is phenomenal.

Demonstration and Reseting
I will have the iMac logged into my account so you can test out all the features and feel comfortable that everything works as it should. After you're satisfied with the iMac I will do a full factory reset before I hand it over and show you confirmation that it has been removed from my Apple ID.

It's important (in the interm) that the item is in perfect, physical condition (which this one is).



A man who takes proper, many, photos of, like Rob Libera of Blue Star Motors, and aah this one, gives you confidence in the condition. You can see that there are no nicks or anything.



One problem with the iMac Retina 4 or 5K is that it is 16 x 9, and that it can not be rotated into another position, or have an external computer plugged it er, to save on another monitor.

The upcoming iMac Pro ($15K plus, fully, properly configured...) can at least have another two or three other monitors plugged into it, at full resolution, but it's important for the primary monitor to be of good condition.




One thing we did not like about the iMac Retina 5K ($USD to $USD), though we liked the thin edges (see photo) was the border (on the bottom) and that the screen (see interior) was not edge to edge.

When we went to the Apple Store, to buy it, bringing cash and debit card, to buy it, along with an iPad Pro, they would not sell, insisting that we buy a gift card, and buy it online.

Instead we bought a John Hardy Naga XL Bracelet ($ USD) at the store down the mall, Holt Renfrew, which we later lost on the bridge (and are now on our 4th).
