Ok - long story short - a local printing company is liquidating all of their stuff (they're closing up shop) and I'm interested in buying their used G4 PowerMac. I'm wondering what a good price to bid would be (it's a live auction next Tuesday), and I've looked over eBay and found some similar systems but they pretty much have no bids on them.

Mac people - is there a site out there with reliable info on Mac resale prices?

Specs:
G4 Quicksilver
733 MHz
640 MB RAM (was upgraded from 128...they added a 512)
40g HD (with a 60g Firewire external LaCie drive I may also try to pick up)
8x4x32x burner (no SuperDrive)
(Full base specs are here.)

It has OS 9.2 right now which I'd obviously upgrade to Tiger...probably also spend the extra $50 (give or take) on another 512 PC133 dimm to boost the ram to a gig.

I was thinking of maybe offering up to $200. ?
It (AFAIK) includes keyboard + Kensington optical mouse + box and the restore discs.

I'm basically looking to get a Mac to run OSX + some design apps...probably be used sparingly (50/50 with a PC)...so I don't need bleeding edge speeds (ie G5 dual or anything).

What do you guys think would be a fair price to offer? (ribitch, kimchiwi I know you guys have Macs)

TIA
