Would this 466MHz G4 processor from Daystar Technology be worth buying
to upgrade my B&W 300MHz Rev 1 G3?

I'd have to say yes. Daystar's XLR8 upgrades are the cream of the crop
(and if you ever consider buying new I can tell you that Larry runs a
class operation). This particular used ZIF is complete with all
original materials, so it would be nearly as good as buying new. A
G4/466 w/1 MB cache will give a HUGE performance boost over your
current G3/300 w/512K...especially if you intend to run OS X.
And how much should I bid up to?
This is a much more subjective issue. I wouldn't spend more than the
equivalent of $100 US (including shipping) for that ZIF. The current
US price for that 466 is $99 + $15 Priority Mail postage. I just
bought a new Daystar G4/550 on ebay and paid $147.50 shipped; that's a
savings of more than $25 US compared to just ordering the same product
from their online store. I don't know whether Larry sells and ships
internationally; check the website first for info before you bid:
