You are probably looking at £175 - £200 - on eBay.
Your ethernet probably has a corrupt driver - can probably be fixed with an update.
The main selling points of your machine are:
The processor - Very modern
Backup HD - very large
Ram - Also large
AGP - large ram
The 40GB drive is pretty much worthless these days. While they are still priced around £30, second hand they are almost dirt cheap.
My quote is based on the fact that it is a 2nd hand machine which would need work to get the onboard ethernet working.
Ebay can be hard to sell IT stuff on as there is so much of it in circulation. Your best bet would probably be to sell it privately and get a price you ask for. Ebay can be risky as you may not acheive a price anything like what you had hoped for.
I bought a 5 port network switch a while back - £2.75 - £40 new. Bought a KVM switch too - £3 - around £30 with cables new.
As you can see, Ebay isn't perfect for IT sales.
Go private and good luck.

It depends on how old it is and what condition it's in. It seems like a pretty sweet setup, but since it's used, it's might be worth half what you paid for it. Why? Because the buyer's taking a risk that it hasn't been abused.
Looks like Amazon has new and used priced from $480, so that might be a "used" price to work with. Looks like e-bay's got "buy it now" prices in the $350-400 range.
Good luck.

Take your original price subtract 25% because you took it home and it is now used. Take off an addition 25% because the computer was a little overpriced when you bought it... Now you'll have to top price you can expect to sell it for but you may be lucky to get that price.
Do a search on ebay.com for other dimension 4600's and check for buy it now prices and see what prices you can expect to pick up.
