I'd consider them worth up to $50 with working 420-1gb drive and 64mb of
memory and CG6. They're worth less with CG3 and with the 16mb of memory
and no disk that the resellers usually have in 'em.
I'd like $70 for an IPX with 64mb of memory, keyboard, mouse, mousepad.
and 420 drive with BSD or Linux on it...
Any bootable working machine that has the os on it and is loaded and
working is worth more than any collection of parts in unknown
unguaranteed shape.
