I'm looking to sell my PB but since I cannot post a request for a price check in the marketplace perhaps you guys will help me.

Specifications:
15" Powerbook
1.25GHz PowerPC G4
768MB PC2700 (333MHz) DDR SDRAM
ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 with 64MB of DDR SDRAM
80GB Ultra ATA/100
SuperDrive(DVD-R/CD-RW)
Built-in Bluetooth; built-in 54-Mbps AirPort Extreme
Full size, illuminated with ambient light sensor

I'll be including for "evaulation" purposes
Tiger,
Create Suite CS, I have a spare set of photoshop CS CDs (actual licensed version) so I'll throw it into the mix.
Apple Remote Desktop 3.0
MS Office v.x
iView Pro 2.x

Condition is good, no dead pixels, I'm thinking of putting it up here and craigslist for 1000? Is that too much, too little or just right?

Edited - Added specifications

You probably need to post more complete specs before someone could help.

Just bought a MacBook, eh?

I like to log onto eBay and check prices there when I'm establishing a price to sell hardware at. You can search completed listings to see what recent auctions have closed at.

I think you'll need to at least include the processor speed before anyone here would hazard a guess.

Keep in mind that if it's an older PB with an original AirPort card, those cards (last I checked) were going in excess of $100 right now, because Apple does not make any more and they're the only way to get those model laptops on a wireless network. Make sure when you compare prices you note whether the item you're comparing to has an airport card or not. You may want to separate the card from the laptop in two separate sales for the best value.

I'm an ebay addict so I think $1000 is a fair price for your PB, though to make it more enticing you might want to price it just below--say $975 or $950? It's a psychological thing.
