I have a non Intel G5 power Pc with 10.4.11. I know I can't go with Snow Leopard since it doesn't have the intel processor. But can I go to 10.5?

Sorry to bug you guys again but I'm not much of an EBayer and it seems lke EBay is about the only place to get 10.5 Leopard. Do any of these seem legit to you all? Do any look like they're definitely not?

Ten or more ratings, 100% satisfaction, and watch the details. Shipping is almost always overcharged (OS X should only be about $4.95 for USPS Priority or under $9 for three day UPS/FedEx shipping). Make sure they allow returns if there's a problem (like them not including something). Make sure they're verified for added protection.

I still have a copy of one I bought in '08. Never used it....because my Macbook at the time (with 10.4) was stolen before I could ever do the upgrade!!! :( :( And so when I bought my 'new' Macbook replacement a week later, it came with 10.5 already...so there was no need for it any more!

Unfortunately, I opened the bloody thing....or else I probably would have already sold it.

I'd offer to sell it to you....except I'm not really set up to sell things on POTN. [Nothing bought/sold in here in my 18 months so far!!]

I paid (if I recall) $75 for mine using grad student discount. So it's probably not going to sell for cheap, even on Ebay.

If you buy, follow Maxxum's advice.
