I've reached the point where my 6500 is getting on in years, and it's high time for me to move up to something...nicer. Before I commit to selling it I'm very curious to know how much you guys think that it's worth. Here are the specs that are different for each unit!
250 MHz 603ev (I'll sell my Sonnet G3/400/1M separately)
128 MB RAM
Internal SCSI Zip 100 Drive
16x SCSI CD-ROM
4 GB IDE HD
Apple Video/Audio In ports
Apple TV Tuner card
Remote Control (Very, very cool!)
The other thing that makes my 6500 special is I performed the MacRock Applefritter mod on it, as visible here on a 7200:

It actually looks really distinguished and cool like this.
Also, how much would you say my Farallon Comm Slot II 10/100(!) Ethernet Card is worth? And my Sonnet/400/1M L2 Upgrade?

Not a bad system. It orginally sold for $2,099 in 1997. Of course, you won't get anything close to that now, but it's still a very nice system, especailly with the custom mods. I'd pay $250 for it if I was in the market for such a computer. You might get $350-400 on eBay if you post some nice pictures of the custom paint. Maybe more, but I doubt it.

I doubt you'd get $250 since even beige G3's go for this. More around the range of $175.
