Selling my iMac on eBay
Hi just wanted a bit of advice. I want to sell my iMac on eBay to buy a new Mac.
Here are the specs:
1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
512 MB RAM
160GB HDD
Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.10
Apple wired keyboard
Apple wired Mighty Mouse
Apple Front Row remote
It's in perfect condition.
Currently partitioned with Tiger on 130GB worth of the HDD and genuine Windows XP SP2 on 60GB worth. Would I sell with this or just totally reformat?
How much would you sell this for? Preferably could you state in GBP£, but if you cannot dollars should be fine too. Thanks in advance.

Unless you plan on giving the purchaser your XP key and install discs, I'd advise against selling it with it. A good place to look an estimated cost of a Mac is here: Mac2Sell.net
I recently saw it on these forums and it seems to be a pretty nice little website.

People don't like to buy machines with 512MB Ram, it's an immediate turn off. What I would do is order this from Crucial:
http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/mpar...EF274FA5CA7304
and install it before selling. It takes one day to arrive and they just go in the bottom under the screen - there is a little hatch with 3 screws. Turn it off, unplug it, put it face down on a cloth and open the hatch.
Is it the 17" model (I can't recall if they made a 20" Core Duo 1.83) because if so that would go for about £700 new so aim for £550. If it's the Core Duo model and not the newer Core 2 Duo, possibly slightly less but I think you'd get £550.

If you're not concerned about people recovering any of your information you can leave it but if you've ever had credit card info or online banking info on your computer at any time, it would be safer to zero the drive and reinstall. The dual boot setup would be a selling point so I'd probably reinstall bootcamp and XP.
*Unless you expect the final price to be less than 99p!
