Hi everyone,
I have a full g4 Cube system from 2000. The cube itself, display, speakers, keyboard, mouse and Airport. The whole system that was sold in tandem that year.
It works, and is pretty cool- but I have no use for it anymore. Is there any market for selling this? Or anything useful to do with it? Open to ideas.
Thank you!

That's a nice vintage obsolete piece of history, for sure!
Little shows in search-found threads about price; some
between $80-$200. in varying condition; more or less
partial to complete kit, with little or most accessories.

Auction sites may show optimistic values, not necessarily realized ones.
Various search engine sites show varied prices, too. With older & newer.

Take care & happy computing!🌞🎣
The Low-End Mac has a SWAP Google group and Facebook group, you might peruse those to see if there is any interest in your G4 Cube. I am not sure how active those groups are these days, or what might be considered in demand, but you never know.
While it might not have a great deal of resale value, those are somewhat collector's items, the fanless convection cooling and the top-loading slot optical drive, that is possibly the coolest Mac ever. Would be a shame not to find an interested party for it as opposed to the computer recycle center.
Or, you can repurpose the external clear case as a Macquarium...

even more helpful is any of the CD or DVD software restore discs that came with the machine originally. You can use those to reformat and wipe the hard drive and reinstall the OS after you have copied everything from it.
..Especially nicer should any/all any original boxes still be on hand & in existence..
The 'internals' also look super fine, according to some images here:

Almost nice as 'the autographed Mac' where inside was signed by Apple team.🌻
Thank you!
Oh this is a great idea, thank you!
I was chomping at the bit waiting for the 500 MHz model to ship... then it was gone... sniff, sniff...
