I have an iMac G5 1.8GHz PowerPC, 512 MB RAM MATSHITA CD-RW CW-8124

Very nice condition, 9/10 comes with the original wired keyboard (never opened) and a wireless keyboard and the wired mouse along and a Microsoft wireless mouse. Just installed Leopard and Mac Office 2004

How much do you think this is worth?

4) No feelers, interest checks, or price checks. Put the item(s) up for sale with the price you want. If there's no interest, no one will respond. If the price is too high, people will make an offer for what they feel is fair.

Oh I'm not buying it, you were just asking how much I thought it was worth, and I said $700. Sorry for any confusion I have the exact same machine, just with more RAM.

I don't think $700... I'd say $550 here, $6-700 on eBay. If it has an iSight (which I don't believe it does), add $100.

$450 tops. You can get intel imacs for around $700 and they generally have more ram and larger hard drives than your machine.

That's iMac G4 prices. Check out eBay completed auctions. Although the point is moot since these threads aren't allowed.

list it on ebay if you want the best price. the prices some people pay on ebay is completely beneficial to the seller.

you'll never get over $500 here...

someone just sold a 1.9ghz w/isight w/superdrive for $450 shipped.

if i were you, i'd sell the various keyboards/mice separate.

btw, since we are apparently allowed to basically bid for this machine, i'll offer $400 shipped.
as ever,

Not on this forum, you may be able to get those prices on ebay, but on this forum people understand the speed of the machines and their actual value.
