Default How to Sell a Computer?

Figured I could use the knowledge of people on this site to help me:

Just bought (2 months ago) a brand new eMac (1.25GHz Power PC G4) with the standard stuff (256MB RAM, standard OS X and mouse/keyboard, CD-RW and DVD-R, etc.). I love the computer, but running Virtual PC on it, along with PokerTracker and poker tables just doesn't seem to be doing it for me. Mac >>> PC IMO, but this is one of those times where I have to take my medicine.

How do I sell this bad boy? I know I'm going to take a hit on the sale of it, but I'm willing to absorb it cause of my mistake. I just don't know the best way to do it - eBay or another way.

If anyone out there has done this before, I'd love your input. Thanks for your help.

wanna

p.s. I'm already aware of the idiocy of buying Mac for poker [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

it's pretty easy to sell anything on ebay yeah...

make sure you quote a shipping & handling price when you do it, or agree to charge the winner the real price.

also, you'll want to do a full system restore and reformat of the machine to remove your personal info...

i edited my post to show craigslist.org - this might be easier if you want to sell it locally and not bother with packing/shipping the thing.
