Even though the clamshells are much more sturdy, you'll kick yourself after a day running OS X at 800x600 :-) I would say $500 is a good price for you, $550 tops. Now that they are 4 years old, there is a good chance some of them will be coming out of lease in the next few months, so the seller could be stuck with something that will get her half of what she originally asked for. Same thing happened to the clamshells when they came out of lease and flooded ebay. Seeya Rod!
