Matt, Having just gone through the agony of buying 2 B&W's for my daughters, I can give you a little feedback on selling them. If you ask a reasonable price for the G3 it will fly. I have seen the B&W 300's listed for as much as $400.00 usd and as little as $150.00 usd. How much did you want/need to recoup? The two B&W's I purchased were from eBay. A Rev 1, 350 for $205.00, and a Rev 2, 400 for $250.00 . Both were basic units with DVD/CD ROM drives, Zip's and 128 Mb of RAM. A good value in my opinion. If you sell the components, it will take much more of your time and effort. I personally would not pay more than $200.00 dollars for a whole Rev 1, 300 Mhz, but that's just me. The Rev 2 will get a little more attention due to the drive bay layout and the ATA controller. The 402 controller is much sought after by Rev 1 owners. I am guessing by the CPU speed that this is a REV 1 ? I am getting ready to list the two Beige G3's that the B&W's replaced (G3/333 MT Rev C and G3/266 MT Rev B), and I can tell you that the B&W's have more value than the Beige due to bus speed etc. But there might be someone out there looking specifically for that B&W machine.
