B&W Parts machine. Worth $5?

Available for $5 on craigslist, right near me. Is it worth it for eBay parts?

Its stock and too much is stripped. Handles might be cracked, case plastics are broken. I would snag it for spares for my B&W's but can't see making any money on ebay unless the HD is bigger then stock, it has a G4 ZIF, or the video card is special (most likely not for all of that).

$5 is scrap value for a full machine, this is stripped.

power supply might be worth something if good?

If you were local, I'd give you two in the same condition.

If you're running an older PCI Mac, it might be worth it for the video card

The jumper blocks can be handy too, I guess. Black for 300 MHz, blue for 350 MHz, white for 400 MHz and yellow for 450 MHz.

Would make a really good mailbox! I've seen it done before, looks great.

If it were me, I'd grab it for the ZIF and the video card (both to stick in my Beige)

Apart from that, no.
