If you want to sell it, sell it and find out. I seen one go for $375 but it was brand new looking and went to a low feedback bidder (as in could be a fake sale to get interest up). One before that (also mint) went for $127 or so. Before that I seen units sell for $40 or so (many of them, some in very nice condition).

If the unit has 256MB of RAM* that would be 4 sets of 16MB 30 PIN SIMMs, a set can sell for $20-30 easy so that is $80-120 there. I have been lucky and the last few systems I snagged had atleast 1 set of 16MB SIMMs inside (all free). Of the (5) 950's I have I think I only paid for 2 of them ($75 for ones including shipping back in 2000, $40ish for one a couple years ago shipped and full of cards)

The only problem with them is people have to be close to you to avoid crazy shipping charges, or local pickup. Shipping tends to be more then the selling price most times. The again 68k is starting to be a little less common on ebay (especially in good clean working condition), so prices have inched up.

*I asume all the RAM is on the motherboard and not using a daystar PPC card with 4x72 pin slots.
