Mac Se for sale

I have an original, approximately 1987 Macintosh SE. I am looking for price quotes because my mom wants to sell it. As I said, I am pretty sure it is from 1987. It comes with all install disks, including Oscar the grouch, Star Trek, and the equivalent of ms word (I forget what it's called), the original keyboard and mouse, (both of which work perfectly).

My question is, what can I expect for this machine to sell for. It is in excellent condition and has much of the original software and all of the original hardware in working/new condition.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

The problem with such a system is that it is no longer a commodity computer for day-to-day use, with an easily determined value. Its commodity value is US$5, provided it does NOT have to be shipped.

Its greater value is as a "collectible", and its value would be determined in a way similar to determining the value of fine art or antique furniture.
