the salvation army would say $1,000 hardware and software try looking at ebay they might have some auctions going
2 :
You probably won't find a price on that because that kind of PC is totally out of date. It's probably worth like... $70-$100
3 :
$50 maybe. It's a crap now. However, if you keep it for another 20 years, it may appreciate as an antique.
4 :
You'd probably end up paying more to recycle it than you would get by selling it. Sorry but PC's depreciate very quickly.
5 :
An 11 year old computer is not hugely valuable because there have been years and years of advancements in computers, and at this point, you can buy a brand new computer for a lot less than that HP cost back in '97. I hesitate to put a dollar figure on it because I think you might find it insulting. Let's just say that the right buyer will pay what they think it's worth.

This computer is 11 years old - ancient in today's world. If someone wants a paper weight or curiosity piece - I would imagine that you could get 25 -50 dollars for it.

Look on eBay for a price of one like yours or similar to it. But I don't think you'll get much more than $75 for it because it is all old hardware. The only thing in it maybe worth something would be your memory sticks. You could donate it to a senior center or some not-for-profit agency that is teaching typing skills to the underprivileged people so they can get a job.

Well Tiffanie, that's hard to say. What is it worth to you? If its worth anything at all to you, then I would just keep it because i doubt its worth anything to anyone else. I Usually donate my old computers to the homeless. I have a really bad sense of humor.
9 :
i will say between 50 to 300 bucks
10 :
Sorry to say this but most of the answerers here are being too generous. An 11 year old computer is worth $30 if that. You should hold off on it because in a few years it will start becoming an antique.I'm sure there are some enthusiasts out there who like collecting these things and will pay ok money for it.
