I need some advice/suggestions on how much this older G3 is worth:

Power Mac G3 @ 366 MHz
768 MB of SDRAM
24x CD-ROM & Built-In 100 MB ZIP Drive & 1.44 MB Floppy
6 MB of VRAM
3 USB ports & 2 FireWire ports
20 GB ATA/100 5400 RPM Hard Drive
Internal 56k V.90 Modem & Standard Sound Card

Any estimates would be appreicated, obviously it's not worth much.

Is that a Tower or a Desk Top? That will make a difference in the value.

Also, would you be willing to part it out?

Sorry for not posting that --

It's a Desktop, not a Tower.

If I can't sell it whote, then I will part it out. Anything you're interested in?

I would be interested in the Internal 56k V.90 Modem, Standard Sound Card and the Firewire Card. But you probily would want to sell the sound card.

I'll keep you in mind if I can't sell it as a whole. Thanks. The Sound Card only works in Beige G3's, as well (sits in the COMM slot).

I have decided I may try to sell the G3 entirely in one before I attempt to sell it in pieces. I am asking $460.00 for it. (Let me know if you think this is too high, too low, etc.)

Specifications:

Power Macintosh G3 Desktop
- G3 processor @ 366 MHz
- 20 GB 5400 RPM ATA/100 Hard Drive
- 544 MB of SDRAM (32 MB, 256 MB, 256 MB)
- Internal 56k V.90 Modem and Standard Sound Card
- Internal 100 MB-ZIP Drive & Apple 24x CD-ROM Drive & 1.44 MB Floppy
- Keyspan PCI Combo card featuring 3 USB ports & 2 FireWire ports
- 6 MB of VRAM on-board
- USB Wireless Logitech Navigator Duo Keyboard and Mouse (works in X only)
- Mac OS 9.2.2 and Mac OS X 10.2.3 Pre-Installed

Machine in excellent condition, both cosmetic wise and hardware wise. Includes two 100 MB-ZIP disks.

I can include any upgrade to it; add cost of upgrade to total cost if need be.
