How would you price this for a local sale?

Mac Pro 3,1 - 2x2.8 Ghz Quad Core Processors, 10GB ram 800 MHz w/ 2 slots open, 500GBWD HD 7500RPM, clean install w/original install disks, GeForce 8800, Single SuperDrive, Airport Express. Excellent cosmetically, very low usage (PS/Websurfing).
 
www.mac2sell.net or eBay (Việt Nam, Türkiye, Česká republika, Hanguk) might be good price checkers.

Selling outside the Marketplace

All threads offering items for sale or trade, asking to buy items, or asking for pricing advice on items to be sold must be posted in the Marketplace forum, which is accessible only to qualified members and subject to additional rules; see the Marketplace Rules for details. Members not eligible for the Marketplace forum may not start threads elsewhere for such purposes.

I think you should sell it with 4gb base ram and sell the other 6gb to me, you will make more that way ;)
 
Woops...please disregard my post then...as I have only been a member for 3 years and clearly don't have enough technical knowledge to contribute enough for a 250 post count so I can post in the correct forum. I'm guessing there are no exceptions.

I have looked at the pricing guides already but hoped for some real feedback on the market for a 2008. It appears for other threads that it is acceptable to ask in this forum if something is a "good deal"

Let me rephrase my post question: I'm in the market for a used 2008, is this a good deal or shoud I buy a new 2010?

If that is inappropriate, please delete the thread.

I think 1900 is a decent price for that machine. As someone else stated taking the ram to ebay might fet you more since the DDR2 stuff is expensive.

Good luck on the sale
 
I usually check out the completed listings on eBay, for pricing ideas. That being said, my guess would be that a number around $1900 would be about right for the machine you described...
