Default How much should I get for this Mac?

I am selling a G3 Blue and White Tower with 350 MHz and 128 MB of RAM with a 19" Sony Trinitron CRT monitor and a new Epson Stylus Photo Printer.

What should I ask for? It has a DVD player, built-in Zip drive and a new optical mouse and keyboard.

Try doing a search on ebay and see what similar models are going for.

Not bad. You can usually get a good deal selling your old Mac at PowerMax.com in the future. eBay is hard to make money on anymore.

If you can get $440 for it, do it. I bought a blue and white G3 Mac from craigslist 3 months ago for $320. It has more memory than yours (500 something RAM) but no zip drive and no epson printer. It had a 17 inch Viewsonic monitor. A week later Apple announced the mini Mac If I had known about the mini I would have waited for that.

I'm selling a G4 450 "Sawtooth" with a Zip & CD-RW, 768MB RAM for around $600 to PowerMax now so I can get a Mac Mini. Not a bad price for a 7-yr old computer, as it will pretty much subsidize a new maxed-out Mini!
