This is the iconic translucent Blueberry iMac G3, part of Apple’s late-1999 slot-loading iMac generation. The 350MHz Blueberry model was introduced in October 1999 and uses a PowerPC G3 processor.
This example is particularly appealing because of its exceptionally clean cosmetic condition and surviving original packaging. Complete presentation pieces with the original box and internal Styrofoam are much harder to encounter than loose surviving iMac G3 systems.

CONDITION
Exceptional vintage pre-owned condition.
This iMac is exceptionally clean for its age and presents extremely well.
The computer has been tested and is working. It powers on, the operating system launches, and the system loads and operates as expected during testing.
The original box and molded Styrofoam packing materials are also included, creating an unusually complete collector presentation.
As with any vintage computer more than two decades old, very minor signs of age, previous handling, storage, or use may be present. Please review all photos closely for the exact cosmetic condition of the translucent case, CRT screen, plastics, ports, labels, box, and packaging.
Because this is vintage electronics, no guarantee is made regarding future service life beyond the testing specifically described above.
Photos show the actual item being sold and are considered part of the condition description.
SHIPPING & HANDLING
This iMac will be packed with particular care due to the weight and fragile nature of the built-in CRT display.
The original molded Styrofoam packaging and original box will be retained and protected, with additional exterior packaging used as appropriate to help protect both the computer and its collectible original packaging during shipment.
Ships with tracking.
