I’ve had this system for a couple years now. This year it has mainly functioned as a FTP/game server. It is in great working order and I’ve had no problems with it.

For System 2, $300 is a little steep for a 366 system.
System 1 price is fair for what is in it but with new faster systems being offered by major sellers, $1300 may be hard to get. You will have to convince them. I just built an AMD 1.4 system with 19" monitor and stuff and it was only about $1200. Remember, all most non computer people see two things, SPEED, and PRICE.

Anyway, good luck selling them, try to convince them thats what they want, don't be afraid to come down a little, just don't take a beating.

What college do you go to that they do this swap meet thing? Pretty cool..I would probably say that $1000 is fair for sys 1 and $200 for sys 2 is fair.

btw, if you need a sweet deal on a laptop, let me know. my work is having a great sale of all PIII based notebooks..I dont know how long the sale is gonna last though.

svtcobra, how much are talking on the P3 laptops??? PM me if you want. I would like to know some specs, etc.
