You'd probably get more money selling it elsewhere and buying from Apple (which is exactly what I plan on doing).

I traded in my old G4 533 on my current G4 MDD at PowerMax. I thought they gave me a reasonable trade in and I didn't want to hassle with trying to sell it myself.

I just got a trade in value on my MDD from PowerMax and am planning to trade for a Mac Mini in the next week or so.

I think PowerMax had treated me fairly and have no complaints. If I did I wouldn't go back and buy another one from them. : ) You can always email and ask them what they will give you, you are under no obligation.

PowerMax's trade-in values are horrible across the board.
