We have decided to try parting out the eMacs (we've got 23 of them

They're not fully functional?
Did you try offering them on LEM Swap?
and discoevered via eBay that the restore CD sets run between $75 and $100.
Isn't that insane?!
We are wondering how legal it is to sell the restore disks
"how legal"? hum. Magnitudes of Legality. 1 oz vs a whole pound!
The *retail* Mac OS X kits are transferrable.
The "restore" or included OS discs are bound to the original Mac with
which they were shipped. They are not transferrable.
But there is a "gray" market in them... so slap on your eye patch...
Everyone else sells them, so why not go for it. (woohoo! The
lemming principle wins!) At this time, Apple doesn't seem to be
interested in tracking down and suing the sellers for the license or
DMCA violation. Of course if you offer the discs all at once, you
might get their Attention, so...
HTH,
