First of all, I was wondering how much an iBook G3 (NOT the round, colorful kind) is worth. It is in perfect working condition, thought it has a very few amount of unnoticable scratches here and there. It includes the charger, which works, except that the prongs sort of snapped off, but when tapped back (and I tried this) it is fully functional.
Please do not post just a link where I can find values, PLEASE provide an exact value or range of values.
Secondly, I need to know how to convince someone to buy if for at the very, very, very least of $170, because thats how much I payed for it, but I know it could be worth $100 more. This requires so-called "salesman" skills, which I hope some of you posess.

Hi there...in order to determine the a baseline value it's important to know what are the following:
- Processor speed (e.g. 800MHz)
- Memory (e.g. 512 MB RAM)
- Hard Disk space (e.g. (20-40-60 Gigabytes, etc)
- Software included with the iBook
I always refer to closed auctions on eBay to help determine an approximate value with these mentioned features in mind.

if this is one of the black ones, (which I suspect it is) I believe that it could be worth about 200. Run the installer disks and do an apple hardware test on the machine and if it comes back with problems then you're never going to sell it, otherwise its probably worth $150 as long as you restore ita nd do all available software updates.
