Back in March I was able to sell the same G3 card for $800 on ebay, and the
computer for $850 (different one then you bought from me)...if you are adept
at pulling the g3 card out yourself, so you don't have to add expense for
someone else to do it, I'd say pull the card out...I would list it as
separate items first, and see if they sell that way, then take it apart. In
your ad, I would heavily push the fact that you are selling an Interware vs.
a Newer card. Big difference as far as selling price, and a much rarer item.
For what it's worth, I recently tried to sell same configuration you have
now...MINT, and I mean MINT...with a USB card, firewire card, sony portable
cd, road rocket, 3 batteries, wet suit, extra original keyboard, and blue
one for $1400, and had not one bite. It was right after the iBook
announcement. Prices have dropped way down.
Hope this helps...
