So, now considering that your model has been replaced 3 times in the product line-up (so it's 3+ revisions old), and more time has passed since I sold mine, and yours is the 17-inch model, it's value is going to be even lower.įurther combine that with Apple selling the new entry level iMac Core2Duo at $999, and add to that that they are selling the refurbished CoreDuo mid-range as a refurbished unit with a 1-year warranty (same as new) for $949.Īnd, then add the fact that recent iMac G5 refurbs on Apple's site have sold for $750 to $850 with a full 1-year warranty and the option to add AppleCare, then it doesn't look good.Īll that combined (as much as I hate to tell you this), the machine you have would have a high value of about $800 and probably closer to $700. I sold it about 3 or 4 months later for $1000. I purchased it as a refurb for $1600 (otherwise would have cost me around $2000). Basically, the 20-inch version of the one you have. It was a 20-inch, 2 GHz, with 2 GB of RAM, 250 GB hard drive, SuperDrive, and AppleCare's extended warranty. A lot of that had to do with the drop in prices for the configuration from Apple, the added features of the newer model, and the reduced price of memory. So, it was considered "old" / discontinued. This was because it was then replaced by the second generation iMac G5 which had just come out. I sold it about 4 months later, and could only get around $1200 for it. It was a 1.8 GHz system, 17-inch, 2 GB of RAM, SuperDrive, 80 GB hard drive, AppleCare's extended warranty, and lots of software.
The first, was a revision A (the first model). I have had the misfortune of selling two iMac G5 systems. With several newer revisions having replaced that model, it's value would be pretty low. Unfortunately, it's not worth what you might want. P.S., if you'd like, go ahead and click the "Helpful" or "Solved" buttons on any of the posts / replies above if you feel they were helpful or adequately answered your question. The one exception is the new low-end iMac Core2Duo that comes with an Integrated video system and Combo Drive.īut, either way, on a used system, the difference between a system with a Combo drive and a SuperDrive might be $20 to $40 (£10 to £20). The models I used for comparison all have SuperDrives. Yes, that was "assumed" in the replies I gave. I hope the additional thoughts have been helpful.Īlso I forgot to state to has a Superdrive. More responses but I appreciate your quick and And, if you like, click on the "Solved" star next to who-ever's post you feel answered your question.

I've put the question as unsolved, as I'm open to Yes, that would put it right in the middle of my upper and lower values. we have tons more).įrom your estimate I'm working on £400 being the And, depending on the buyer, could actually decrease the value (since authorized service centers are harder to find than they are in the U.S.A. It would not add any substantial value to your machine. It would affect value only to a minor degree.
