You are missing/leaving out a vital part of information... let's see if you figure out which it is :)

Have you tried Macofalltrades.com or Powermax.com?
 
Your location is important. Here in Florida, my local craigslist pretty much always has iMac G3s going for $20 or so. I actually picked up a free 600MHz Graphite model a few years ago from some guy that didn't want it. Even other old iMacs are going cheap here; a year or so ago, I picked up a near-pristene iMac G4 for $20.
 
Looking for (and this is all preferred I might do without)
Red
1ghz
512mb ram
bigger screen model
around $60

I am willing to trade some ps3 games, steam games , etc I also have some spare laptop ram, just send me a message

From those desired specs it sounds like you are really looking for an iMac G4 or iMac G5. The G3 never came in a 1GHZ, the highest was 700MHZ unless I am mistaken. Also, the screens will all be 14" CRT as they were built into the design, again, unless I am mistaken.

I believe you're thinking of the eMac, with those specs.
