I hate to say this, but about 1.5 years after intel machines came out and the Mini ran circles around the G5, that was when the value plummeted. My PowerMac G5 that I had I think I bought it for $250USD with no issues. That was about I think 2 years ago. and that was a Dual 1.8Ghz w/ 1GB RAM, DVD-RW and 160GB SATA HDD.
It's already gone down. It's funny, people on craigslist are trying to sell their powerbook G4s for more than a early Intel MacBook would fetch and the Intel would be much faster.
I don't get why people think PowerPC is worth spending the money (or trying to charge for it) considering that 10.4/5/6 can emulate PowerPC code. I have not come across ONE thing that Rosetta would not emulate. Drivers may be one thing, but I am pretty sure OS X can run PowerPC drivers in an intel system.
