How much money could I get for my system?
I have a Power Mac G4 933 Mhz w/ SuperDrive(QuickSilver). It has 768 MBs of RAM installed, a GeForce 4 MX (64 MBs of VRAM), a 60 GB hard drive, and a 250 MB (backwards compatible with 100 MB disks) internal Zip Drive. Also included: a 17" Apple Studio Display, Apple Pro Speakers, Harman/Kardon iSub, Apple Pro Mouse/Keyboard, an external matching floppy dirve, a matching microphone (silver), and matching Sony headphones (silver). I will include the OS 10.1 and 9.2.2 discs that it came with and of course the 10.2 discs I bought separately.
The computer has been very lightly used. Everything is in mint condition/perfect shape. The monitor has absolutely no dead pixels. If I have to, I can even throw in something extra like some games (Black and White, The Sims, The Sims Livin' Large, and American McGee's Alice) or the Microsoft Mouse, Microsoft Trackball, and ergonomic keyboard.
Here's a list of how much all of this would cost separately:
Power Mac 933 w/ Superdrive - $2,300 (when purchased brand new)
Apple Studio Display - $1,000
Added 512 MB of SDRAM - Approx. $120
250/100 MB Internal Zip Drive - $100
Apple Pro Speakers - $60
Harman/Kardon iSub - $60
<a href="http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=50120287" target="_blank">External Floppy Drive</a> - $66!! *I forgot how much these cost!* :eek:
Microphone - $30
Headphones - $20
OS 10.2 Upgrade - $130

I'm not really into US prices though, but I have heard (there was a thread some days ago) that many seem to think Ebay prices on macs are really up there, so that'd be one way to check.

The monitor will fetch a good price, but you should list is separately. The desktop items can be bundled with the machine, but I'd definitely big tickets on, well, separate tickets.
I was selling a B&W 400 a while ago (years) and I sold it in 3 items:
1) Comp with 256MB, 10GB.
2) Initio Miles U2W card (kept the 2x9GB drives)
3) Aurora Fuse card
I ended up selling my Fuse card to a guy in hollywood production who somehow used (and still uses) the card for ProTools. I actually think he's the guy that did a lot of the audio for Star Wars 2. Cool.
Anyway, I got 1200 for the comp (down from 2000 purchase), 110 for the Initio (Paid 149), and 469 for the Fuse (Paid 510). the chance that someone would want my exact, somewhat custom system is a lot less than individual buyers hunting down parts on eBay.
If I was looking to buy this I wouldn't pay more than 1700 US dollars. However if you sell it on ebay you'll get over two thousand I bet.
