What would be a fair price for a 2.5-3 year old G5 with dual 2 GHz, 2GB of RAM and an 23" Cinema Display?
My company leases two and we are trying to see how much they are worth vs. what we've paid during the life of the lease.

Maybe if it was a dual-core one, but it is 2 years old. Nobody will pay $1400 for a two year old G5. I could see $1400 with display however.

Is it a plastic or aluminum cinema display?
The computer is probably worth $1000.
If the dispay is aluminum, I'd say it's worth $400-500.
if it's plastic, $300-$400.

check eBay. That is the best way to get a notion.
especially look for the "buy now" price.. As a private seller, you may have to aim slightly lower, but then again, maybe not.
One thing is for sure, those that mass sell on eBay count on actually selling stuff, so they are pretty solid on what price will move an item (no bids means no money).

What?? Are you out of your mind???
20" Plastic displays cost around $499!!! A 23" Aluminum display would be around $799!!

I would rant about the insanity of the posts in this thread, but ranting usually comes after one has observed acts of pure insanity. These are not posts of pure insanity, these are posts of abismal insanity.
May I ask one question?
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???????????????????????????????????
To the OP: $2000 easily for the whole setup.

Low-end price, good shape 23" display, sold for $440.
eBay: APPLE 23" Cinema HD Display LCD Flat Panel M8536 (item 120026897307 end time Sep-08-06 05:11:58 PDT)
High-end price, in awesome shape, sold for $835. I woiuld place yours much closer to the low-end, however.
eBay: Apple 23" HD Aluminum Cinema Display **No dead pixels (item 230027779148 end time Sep-15-06 18:29:58 PDT)
Comparable system, low-end price, sold for $1,150.
eBay: Apple Computer Power Mac G5 Dual 2Gig PPC w/ 2 Gig ram. (item 170025209926 end time Sep-02-06 16:44:03 PDT)
Another comparable system, higher price, sold for $1,425.
eBay: Apple PowerMac G5 Dual 2Ghz 2GB RAM NR! (item 140023395302 end time Sep-03-06 17:15:20 PDT)
Personally, I really like eBay completed listings to tell how much something is worth. Individuals tend to get a bit less than others (as noted above). Also, I really didn't know how much hard drive space you have.

I sold my single processor 1.8 GHz G5 for $900. I sold my 17" plastic display for $200. Good luck.

So was I just lucky to get $1300 for my MDD G4 tower? I sold it AFTER the Mac Pro was released.

How did you get $1300 for a MDD? Someone wasn't paying attention when they wrote that check.

that is right in line with realistic values.. There are no $1300 Dual G5's, much less dual 2.5's unless you simply get lucky and find an auction that isn't getting much attention.
