Appraisal of B/W PowerMac G3
Can anyone tell me what I should sell a Blue&White PowerMac G3 350 MHz with 192 MB RAM, 6 GB HDD, OSX + OS 9, Canon printer BJC 2110 and Canon scanner, also with a 17-inch Sylvania CRT display. I know it can;t be that much, but every little bit of $ helps...to buy a new PowerBook.

For the tower alone, about $400 (I've had my 350 B/W tower appraised by PowerMax for about that).
Good luck - and do wait if you can, but buy now if you need to (this fall may be interesting, but right now TiBooks are a steal!)

With the printer and scanner/monitor, you might be able to get around $500-$600 for the whole deal (if not more; those crazy eBay kids just love to bid...)

I agree with fred_lj. You will most likely get that price for your setup. I would sell before the summer, just incase the 970 comes out because the 970 will probably drive the price of the B&W down like crazy.
The B&W is a great machine...it's got the 100mhz bus, the legacy ADB stuff, plus the USB. Furthermore, it is one machine I have heard very few complaints (other than not being able to ad a giant hard drive with the revision 1 without a PCI ide controller). Keep it around as an OS X or OS 9 server, it performs adequately with either, and as a server more than acceptable.
Don't sell! The B&W rules! (note: this doesn't mean i want to buy it)
If you really, really need money, find a friend, bring a kidney failure upon them and then sell them your kidney. Works everytime!

It is a revision 2, and PowerMax appraised mine at $400 as well. I want a miniBook, not a TiBook, though.
Rev2! Then you must keep it!

No, I really musn't. like I said, my dad has an old blue and white rev 2 that we upgraded to G4 with lots of extra stuff, but this was my sisters' and my computer. Now i will be going to a PC filled high school instead of Mac Middle School, so I want a Mac laptop to take there so I can keep my sanity.
