eBay, for all of its faults, is a good source for what people are actually paying for machines. You can also read the auction listings to see things like condition - something very important for Macs which generic pricing sites don't provide.

Mac2Sell quoted 710$ as its value. Looked from eBay and they were around 400$ at the moment (no buy it now option) and 700$ for buy it now. ~600$ sounds fair for me, but max out the RAM, it'll make it a lot faster

Try Mac2Sell.net...

and completed ebay auctions (do advanced search and click completed listings)

Though if I recall correctly, those 1st gen had heat issues....the seller may say it's in great condition, but remember, they're biased
