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.
