What's a fair price for this?

[Allnatural]

My mother is selling her old computer (which I built). I know someone who's interested in buying it, but neither he nor my mother knows what it's worth. They want me to set the price. Any opinions on what this should fetch?

AMD Athlon Thunderbird, 1 GHz (currently running 1.13 GHz on a 266 MHz FSB)
Epox 8k7a+ mobo (AMD 761 chipset)
256 MB PC2100 DDR
Geforce Ti-4200
80 GB WD hard drive (7200 rpm, ATA-100)
Linksys LAN card (don't remember which model, not that it matters anyway)
generic modem (pulled from her old Compaq)
uses onboard audio
17" Samsung flat-screen CRT

If it's someone you know you shouldn't sell it to chaep nor too expensive. 400 usd perhaps?

Everything is quite old, outdated and used so... about 200 for the monitor and 100 for all the rest... unless you can sell it to someone that doesn't know a lot about computers.

Yeah, I was thinking about 300, 350 tops. I told the potential buyer that the computer isn't good for much more than internet access now, and older video games, and that the upgrade options are limited. He seems to know what he's getting himself into.

you could put it in the local newspaper and see what you could get for it there

350 seems fair to me, you can even get more with some one that doesn't know about computers, as Psyman said. I am about to sell mine too...

$200 - 250 w/ monitor. It'd make a good "mom & pop" machine, or a linux machine (desktop, server, firewall, etc etc) The bad thing about computer hardware is it becomes rather "worthless" very quickly. I'd say $250 if you have Windows for it and are including any sort of update/upgrade CDs if applicable.
