A tangerine imac walks into a bar...

I just pulled out my old tangerine and graphite iMacs out of storage. They both work fine but I don't have room for them. Are they worth anything? Would anyone take them as a donation? How do I erase all my stuff before I let them go?

24" iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 17" MacBook Pro, G4 iMac Flatscreen, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Someday I may kick myself, but I gave away my old Bondi Blue Rev.B iMac 233 MHz on Craigslist. I hated to do that but after getting my new 21.5 inch iMac and still keeping my flat panel iMac G4 "iLamp" (still works great after 7 years and I'm running Tiger on it) I just felt like I didn't have the room to start a collection.

I felt really good about the give away. The recipient was a twenty something year old guy in the metro area who is taking some computer courses and had a project to do some programming in Classic Mac (I have no idea why, ha ha). He said he had cut his computer teeth on a Bondi Blue growing up but that his machine had finally bitten the digital dust. He came and picked up the old iMac and I even threw in a couple of old Classic Mac trouble shooting books I had no use for. Oh, and I even threw in a Conflict Catcher disk (that gives me chills to even think of the extension conflicts we used to have to fight in Classic Mac!). Of course I gave him all the Mac OS disks that came with the iMac and I gave him my retail OS 9 disk that I had used to upgrade with.

That's my experience with giving away an old iMac.
