Well, since he's trying to go out of business, does he really want to go
through the trouble of having to list this thing on eBay to get the $300
that he wants? If not then he should sell it to you for a far more
reasonable $50. Without a keyboard or mouse (don't tell him a Mac mouse
will work :) he won't get $300 for it on eBay, I guarantee you that.
He won't get substantially more than $50, and the trouble he would have to
go through to get the money, pack it and ship it will make it not worth
the effort.
Try to diplomatically bring this to his attention and maybe he'll see it
your way :)
