Since I just got a new MBP, i'm looking to sell my old laptop. I think i'll try craigslist first, and then maybe ebay. Suggestions on that would be nice too. But I'm wondering what price-range I should put.

Specs: Aluminum 1.67 GHz PowerPC G4 15'' running 10.4.11
1GB DDR SDRAM, and a 120 GB harddrive

Apps: iLife (2006 i think? yikes thats old) and iWork 2008 (I have a bunch of other's but there all free)

Will also give a wired mighty mouse and of course the charger with it.

The Bad: VERY small dent to the right of the trackpad, ALSO on the bottom, the battery compartment sort of comes out a little bit it feels almost loose, but again, not anything merriting a problem. Maybe i just need to tighten it but it hasn't bothered me enough to figure it out. Finally, bottom of the express card slot is just the least bit dented. (if pictures would help i can post them)

I might consider buyin the leopard/ilife/iwork 09 deal to make it worth more, if it is cost effective.

Overall its in good condition and is the computer that converted me to macs
Thanks in advance for the help. I"m just looking for a price range. :)

I would say $450+. Anything in the $200's is far too low for a 1.67GHz PowerBook in good condition.

This is what they say it's worth. $200 sounded too low for that machine to me also.
