What colour is it?

Some 500Mhz models are worth more... but they are usually DV or SE. This doesn't appear to be.

I'd say $250 if it's in excellent condition, but a real selling point would be to add more RAM so Tiger is possible. I bumped my G3s to 1GB, so might have some chips for you if you want.

HowEver, I'd be interested in some RAM for B&W G3. I could use some 256MB DIMMS.

Okay, I'll go through my RAM stash within a day or so and post an answer.

If I asked the seller the colour, would that tell me what model it is?
