For good reason, Sabrina...it looks like a lot of thought and money went
into your system.
Although eBay is a wonderful site for buying goods, it can be less so for
selling
your particular system, at least insofar as getting the most money back.
First off, I recommend playing 'TBone Pickins' if you're going to sell.
The cost (and headache) of mailing monitors, (including double packaging
if you don't have the original containers), will reduce the number of bids
you get..
ie..many buyers already have a monitor from a previous system and won't bother
bidding on an all in one package that may run $75 to $100 or so for shipping.
You may get $450 for the package on a good day (Sunday @ 7pm), whereas
if you break up the package and sell everything separately, you'll definitely
get more.
PTPRo 225 around $250 (more if you cannabalize and sell piece by piece!!)
17" monitor around $75
Labtec speakers around $15
Ext Zip around $50
Ext Jazz around $100
ext CDR around $125
external DDT around $125
Media 100qx around $75
Software around $125
Having said all that...RU NUTZ!!
Keep the home office and bite the bullet on the 'Road Warrior' if you must.
You may find that the cost of building and maintaining a portable is more than
you anticipated.
With the G3/4 CPU upgrades and ram verrry reasonable these days, your
system is good
for another 2-3 years, which may be more than the ibook.
Cheers...Michael
