Feeler: PowerMac G4 Gigabit Ethernet

[macg4]

Just woundering what my powermac g4 would be worth.
PowerMac G4 Gigabit Ethernet
-dual 500mhz g4 processers
-1.75gb ram
-120gb hd and a 40gig hd
-16mb ati rage agp video card(stock video card)
-dvd/cdrw combo drive
-zip 100 drive

That Rage128 is a major downer for this unit, and I'd say with that card you're looking at around 300-350, with a newer card (QE capable) it'll probably come up near 400-450.

I have a very similar unit, and it's a screamer to this day. I only have 1.12GB RAM, I can't imagine what an extra 640MB would do for Tiger.

Good luck though, some people are still willing to pay a high price for these. (mostly OS 9 junkies)

I would say about 250 at the most, but you could up the price with the ram I suppose by not including it in the 250. That is alot of ram and pc100/133 is kind of expensive.

I think supercompu2 is right, your system is great. Def worth ALOT more than 250.

Way off the mark.

Take a look at completed or current BIN ebay auctions. That's about as much as you'll ever get. Dual 500s typically go for less than $200, and a few under $100.

$400 is way off as the previous poster said. That is taking you into high end Quicksilver and MDD territory.

The RAM and HDs are a bonus. The video card doesn't even support Quartz and can't handle OS X well.

I bought the same model with the following for $75:
DP 500
Radeon 9000
1GB
80GB HD

Granted this is an extreme case. Lookign at ebay auctions I would say $200-$250 is possible. No more than $250, but you could get under $200. Craigslist would be your best bet. Good luck.

My point EXACTLY. I purchased one for $120 a year ago. Worth more than $250, yes, but will he get it? Probably not.

edit: Take a look at some of the Powermacs here for sale. (http://www.baucomcomputers.com/)
and here. (http://lowendmac.com/ppc/deals.html)
The G4's are going way down in pricing. And it doesn't look to be a lack of stock. On Lowendmac swap list, I have seen dp G4's for $50, from people I have done very good business with.

[macg4]

well only have maybe around $120 in the whole thing

Now that's a good deal, esp with the Radeon. If the OP wanted to consider that ballpark, I'd go ahead and buy it. ;)

400 dollars is way insane, since I picked up a Dual 1 GHz Quicksilver for 250.

For 400, you can grab a G4 mini, and if you look hard enough, or with a bit more, pick up a Core Solo mini.

[macg4]

i was thinking $250ish

I think that is pushing it. $200 should be the top end for this. IMO.

You probably won't even get that much on ebay.
