how much is a powermac g5 with broken logic board worth?

part it out

The 9800XT (if it is a real Mac one) is worth at least $200 all by itself, more than rest of computer

Ya thats too bad the 1.8 and 2.0 boards have been failing at a big rate. :/

Along with the video card the processors go for a decent amount along with the power supply.

Thats because it isn't. The entire 1.8 G5 would be worth $200, if it were working, the 9800XT itself is only worth about $50.

you're wrong about that. I checked on eBay, a used 9800xt exactly like the one I have just sold for $170 after getting 5 bids. Nice try though.

I'm gonna throw it up on CL for $200-$225 and see who bites. Worst case i'll sell the 9800XT on ebay for $170.

Yea, mac specific graphic cards most definitely pitch for a high resale value on ebay. I know because i made the mistake of selling my PowerMac G5 with the graphics card in it at too good of a price to the buyer. Unfortunately it was not until after the transaction that I discovered that I could have made more money by selling the graphics card individually and selling the G5 with its original stock card. Oh well, lesson learned.

Sorry, a few "uninformed" people willing to pay an extremely high price for a low-value 5 year old card doesn't reflect the real market value. All a seller has to do is demand a ridiculous price and some schmuck will eventually come along and pay it.

Being a "Mac card" doesn't make it that special.

I would actually want the case only for my PC - mac project.
