How much do you think my Pismo laptop would go for?

Configuration:
Powerbook G3 500 MHz (Pismo)

-512 Mb RAM
-DVD/CD Drive
-TWO BTI Li-Ion 5400mAh (Product ID: MC-G3/99) bought in Nov & Dec (2004) (greater than 8hrs of battery life when both are in the laptop).
-The batteries alone cost ~$130 from buy.com where I purchased them.
-D-link DWL-G650X (802.11g/2.4Ghz wireless cardbus adapter) - works great. ($60 from buy.com in January '05)

Either:
-Original 12 Gb HD 4200 rpm (has hardly been used since I upgraded it)
-OR 40 Gb HD 5400 rpm (New from Hitachi). The old one crapped out on me however I should receive a replacement from Hitachi soon.

Everything is in working order! I have all the original packaging.

This is a great computer, but since I bought the 17" I would like to get the pismo off the desk and maybe get a Mac Mini to consolidate some space.

P.S. Don't ask me why I purchased all these extras when I bought the 17" 2 months later.....my impulse buys :D

A friend of mine recently traded his Pismo for $200 plus a GigaDesigns G4/1.4 GHz processor upgrade (which sells for $300-$400). His had these specs:

G3/400
768 MB RAM
40 GB 5400 RPM hard drive
10 GB 4200 RPM expansion bay hard drive
DVD-ROM
Airport
Expansion bay Zip drive

I think they're worth about the same. The internal Airport card is worth quite a bit, same with the expansion bay hard drive. I'd try to get $500.
