I have a G4 Mac mini with a 1.42 ghz PPC, 1gb of DDR ram, and an airport card. How much is it worth. I am gonna sell it on here or on Ebay.

Worth more than that. Say $150.00 with the airport card, keyboard, mouse and original OS X.3 system install discs.

Mac2Sell must have changed the prices as I just one month ago checked the 1.42 and the 1.5 (both remember have SuperDrives and Not Combo) and Airport/Bluetooth and saw $120 and $150. It's hard to find the 1.5 with Airport/BT and 64 MB VRAM for even the $150 they are quoting. Overall I agree with Harry's price on the 1.42Ghz mini with Airport.

Yeah Mac2Sell's values have really changed.
It says my old imac is worth $690 Australian or $530US. Which is like wow for a 4+ year old machine.

These still sell for around £150 here in the UK, so convert to your currency to see how it compares.

That website is becoming a little ridiculous.

I'd say double that, depending on accesories and condition.

Yeah...earlier I was simply quoting that Mac2sell said $60 bucks...but I agree...value should be closer to $100-$125 (with airport).

I purchased a 1.42ghz Mac-Mini over a year ago for $125 (without airport)...so I'm taking that 12 month old price...and "depreciating" it a bit.

If I ever come to the US again, I'm going around buying up Macs. You guys get them cheap.

I'm not all that certain that both wouldn't be an improvement over what we have.
