I'm not much of a fan of the new site (For reference I'm typing this in what appears to be a 5 point font) so I'm not sure if we have a Trading Post or not, but a friend of a friend has this floating out there:
"Our neighbors who helped us when Maxwell was sick (the ones across the street, not the bad ones next door) got snookered by a local computer store recently, so have a brand new expensive (!) Mac that they're looking to sell. I told them I'd ask if you knew anyone who might want it. Basically (if I understand correctly), there was a mix-up on the order and Rick & Debbie (our neighbors) told them not to order it, but they still did. So, when Rick and Debbie disputed it with their credit card company, the store fought back and won. Nice customer service, huh?
1 - AppleCare Enrollment Kit for PowerMac (w/ or w/o display) $249.00
1 - JBL Creature II 3PC Powered Speakers - Red
Total: $4,943.99
Debbie said that Rick said he'd be willing to take $500 off just to be done with it."
If anyone is actually interested in making an offer I can pass email addresses back and forth. I'm sure Paypal would be fine, but shipping would have to be arranged with the seller. My wife was tempted not to even show me the email; with the luck I've had this year the thing would burst into flames before I could get it out of the box. ;-)

we do have a trading board, though it's in the 'private' CP area (which unless FC has hooked your account up with, you won't see).
It's going to be hard to sell a G5 mac with intel towers expected next month, the sooner they can sell it, the better most likely. $500 off will probably not be enough. I would almost suggest eBay simply because Macs seem to do pretty good on there.

Please post what platform/browser you're using, and screenshots if possible in "The Site" forum and I'll see if there's some css that I can tweak or if there's a bug...
I haven't had much time lately to do much tweaking, but there are currently 3 different forum "skins" available under the "Profile >> Display" link shown above. They're largely the same at the moment, but it's my intention to cook up a couple more -- particularly a "bare-bones high contrast large type edition"
I've added you to the list of privileged users, by the way.
Thanks FC, I'll see if I can send you a screen shot. I'm IE, WinXP, and 1024x768 monitor res.
The forum login seems to work a little differently Ax. What worked for me was logging in, ignoring the message it gave, and then refreshing the forum.
That's almost exactly what I said to them Conner, with the added proviso that in my experience the mere fact of being a reseller will take a lot more than 10% off the value.
