Hi there,
I'm looking to sell my top spec G5 Quad to upgrade to an Intel Mac. I need help valuing it primarily, but would also appreciate advice on selling - should I sell it as it is, with its 16GB ram and top Graphics card (Quadro FX4500) or separate these and sell separately? Is eBay the way to go or do any Mac retailers offer part exchange?
Here's the spec:
Apple G5 Quad (4 x 2.5GHz PowerPC G5) [PowerMac Model No: M9592LL], 16GB RAM (Kingston) 250GB hard disk and NVIDIA Quadro FX4500 GPU. It comes with just under 2 years Apple Care cover remaining and loads of software (Final Cut Pro 5, Photoshop CS3, Illustrator CS3, After Effects 6, Microsoft Office 2008, iLife etc).
So what do you think would be a fair price in the second hand market?
The NVIDIA Quadro FX4500 comes with 512MB VRAM, dual-DVI video out (capable of driving two 30'' displays simultaneously) and a stereo 3D port.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Chris
