Q: Selling my eMac 700

Hi. I have a eMac (specs at bottom) in very good condition. It has a few problems cosmetically, but it's an excellent machine. If I erase the drive, reinstall the OS (Mac OS X 10.4), and don't go through the setup process, how much do you think I could sell it for. I'm not sure how much is too much or too less.

Keep in mind that...

It has a 40GB hard drive

2GB RAM

700mhz G4 processor

Airport Express

Fresh install of Tiger

Pro Keyboard

eMac Swivel Stand

All responses are appreciated!!!

eMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11), 700mhz, 1GB RAM, Original Airport

Hello, sadly they don't generally go for much these days, & shipping it may be prohibitive, but to give you some idea...

Thanks for you response.

I'm not looking for too much. And I know people in my area that collect Macs and Mac components.

I rounded up a few more things and decided I would get rid of...
     eMac (with Tiger, Pro Keyboard, etc)
     FireWire 400 cable
     An iBook parts/repair (don't want too much for this)
     256mb SDRAM

And I'll probably find more in my house. I want at least $150

I'm trying to get an iMac G5. And if I get it, I'll sell my eMac 2005!

Thank you so much!!! The amount Mac2Sell gave me is more than I would have sold it for. Excellent site.

I might be asking for a little to much but does anyone know where I could sell Apple computers and components?

I live in Columbia, SC.

Thanks in advanced!!!!!!

There are several ways to sell.
You can list it on eBay.
You can join LEM-Swap for buying & selling Mac stuff. http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap After you join, post a FS (For Sale).
List it on your local Craig's List - http://www.craigslist.com/ One advantage of Craig's list is that it can be pick-up, instead of costly shipping & a buyer can check it out.

Why don't you open an Apple Store in Columbia? We sure as heck could use one.
