Figure on $30 to $45 to ship.

It MAY be worth it to buy a Q950 IF is has: 1) a PPC Upgrade Card, 2) a "five 
drive shelf", 3) lots of drives, RAM and, especially, VRAM, such that you can 
really use it for something.

The most expandible of the Q950-sized machines is the WGS9150, which already 
has a PPC 601, but can be expanded to include a G3 processor card.

For a while, I was using a 9150 with a 300 MHz G3 card, a 24-bit Supemac card 
(Ver. 3.1 ROM, which supports BOTH 68K and PPC modes), 136 MB of RAM, a 
CD-ROM, a DDS-2 tape and a "five drive shelf". $40 for that beast, at a local 
PC liquidator.

Now, I would gladly pay $30 or so to ship a 9150 like that ... but probably 
not a Q950.
