Where do I buy old iMacs like the iMac G3 for example?

Hey Cheerle,
Welcome to Apple Discussions,

Here's a site that compares all the iMacs that were made. I would only consider a slot loader for what you are doing for it. I would try to at least get a 400 MHz up to a 700 which would be ideal.
A lot of school districts are cycling out their iMac G3s. Also a lot of graphics design studios and companies that used them for production. If you're close to a large town you can also check in thrift stores and also garage and yard sales.
If there's a Craig's list in your area also another great source. I search iMacs in the computer ssection and pick the oldest posts and offer them what I think it's worth.

I pick up iMacs here in Chicago for $25-$35 for 400 slots up to $60 for a 700 slot.

Are you anywhere near Austin? There is a Goodwill Store in North Austin that specializes in computers, including Macs, and has parts as well.

Happy hunting!

Well I do understand the caution about eBay, but I have only had one bad experience in 70 transactions.
If I were looking for an iMac on eBay I would only accept something in the immediate area. Within driving distance and would pick up the iMac personally so I could check it out. I have an advantage tho' living next to Chicago.
If you are near Austin (lucky you) you could also check out the U. for auctions and student sales.
Also around here there was a "set out day" in the local suburbs, friends of mine brought me two iMacs that were put out, both 400s both working.
