I have bought and sold on ebay, I even got my best desktop ever 
from there. Depends. It is hard to get get anything for old Mac 
stuff. I put a $1 starting price on a whole lot of stuff all in 
perfect working condition and all real quality like Apple laser 
printers, Desktops, external zips, books, and all sorts of things 
and it attracted a $1 bid! I was happy enough because buyer 
seemed keen and seemed to know about it all when he came to pick 
it up. He surprised me by seeming surprised when I said don't 
bother about the dollar! <g>

The problem with selling old stuff is simple enough, is it worth 
going to the trouble of fashioning an ad and all the fiddling 
like answering questions, getting paid, paying fees and posting? 
If you are lucky that someone really wants something, you will 
get a fair price. But luck is not something to be counted on, 
often better to give it away.

I am even contemplating the really ruthless tactic of the rubbish 
bin for my next clean out. Not sure I can, it will be a test of 
whether I am ruthless enough to lead Libya through its next great 
30 year phase.
