Please help put a value on my powermac

I have this listed in classifieds, but i think my asking price of 550-600 is a bit too steep. I know these go for a lot less on eBay, But I think this one has a few upgrades that you don't see in those machines. Specs are below, any input and opinions are more than welcome. Thanks.

I think you are a bit high. It would make a great server but I wouldn't pay more than $500 for it. $400 is about right.

Mike...

it all depends on the buyer really.

I just sold a decked out G5 DP 2.0 (mint / box / manuals), 9800XT, 2GB crucial, BT and AE.. I was HAPPY to get $1k.

personally, I think you have a $400 box, but you might find a taker at near $500 (again that would be pushing it).

my thoughts only.

thanks guys. it's weird how you can buy a computer for so much, then put all this extra stuff/work into it and come out with barely much more value in the thing.

It's sad but true. Mods and upgrades, while costing you tons of money, don't mean much once they're resold as a part of a system.

It's a fact of life. Of course, if it was a PC of the same vintage you would probably have to pay someone to take it away for you
