    In my opinion, if I had to make an offer on it, I would offer a solid 500 dollars, but that's just me. It looks like it is is great condition and it has a nice selection of I/O, and probably could get whatever job that is needed from it done. The reason I wouldn't offer more is because it is used.

    Hope you find a buyer!

      You'd be best looking on eBay to check the "Completed Listings" to see what other similar specs sold for.  Unfortunately servers tend not to hold their value particularly well due to the number being sold off by IT recycling companies for very little money.  Great for buying them used, not so great for selling them. I'm not overly familiar with the US market but in the UK I'd expect to pay at most £200 for a machine of that spec, quite likely less.

      Yeah, I forgot about how many are sold all the time. I said that price because if I had one I would actually use it, hence the high price. It looked like it was in great condition. But like cameron said, companies sell them all of the time for low prices.
