How much should I expect if I sell this?

[jdl8422]

I have a 1.6Ghz PowerMac G5
512MB (I can upgrade it to 1GB if I need to)
Upgraded video card (one step up from the base)
80GB HD and a 120GB HD
Airport
Apple Mouse and Keyboard
17" LCD Flat Panel Monitor
Set of 2.1 Creative Labs Speakers
Newest OSX
iLife 05
Adobe Creative Suit installed

I am hoping to get at least 900$. Do you think I can get this or even more?

ok, first thing is you can't sell adobe CS unless you're selling the disks. Well, you can, but you can't talk about it on this site because it's illegal and against forum rules. (someone was going to say it...)

Second, IMO upping the RAM would make a big difference because 1 GB is a lot more attractive than 512, which is basically the minimum.

Third, the video card is a Radeon 9600 I'm guessing?

Fourth, although it's annoying to do, I'd split up the monitor, speakers, and G5 if I were you. By selling it as a package you're either restricting the number of people who will buy it or getting people who want just the G5 and really aren't going to pay the value of the extras. Bottom line is that the whole is less than the sum of its parts.

All that said, a quick look at the limited number of 1.6 G5s sold on ebay tells me that your price is pretty reasonable. I think that $900 or a bit less for the G5 with both hard drives and 1 GB RAM is reasonable and that you should be able to get over $1000 for all of the pieces separately. (at least that is on ebay... less on this forum or craigslist, but of course, no ebay fees that way).

Good luck. :)

Sorry about the adobe comment. Its a good point about breaking them up. I will probably sell the computer by itself and then the monitor and speakers by itself. Thanks for your comments. Also would it make a huge difference if I have 1GB and 1.5GB?
