What do you think would add to the resale value of the 15" 1.5GHz Powerbook more, AppleCare or the 5400rpm hard drive and 64mb additional vram graphic card?

If you plan to sell it within the first first year I would say 5400rpm HD, if not I would value AppleCare much higher!

Just my 0.02$

I disagree. I sold my Ti 667 PB last Oct. 2003. It was stock with 512RAM and nothing more. For the average buyer, security and peace of mind will be more important when they know that there is some type of warranty that comes with the used PowerBook. I took a pretty good picture of it and included an unopened box of DiskWarrior, along with a screen warranty (which I bought at CompUSA).

I then posted it on eBay and it sold within 7 hours! I think what helped was that: (1) I took a great picture (2) My description was very detailed (3) The warranty. Good luck.
