Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

It very much depends on what you want to do with it. It's the best part of 8 years old now and won't run the latest MacOS, 10.7 is as good as it gets meaning no more security updates. The screens used fluorescent lights rather than LED so won't be as bright as it was originally and even that wasn't great by todays standards.

Max RAM it can take is 2GB officially though I think you can fit 3GB. An 80GB HDD is no use to anyone at this stage meaning more money to upgrade it.

Have a look here to see what it's worth and here to see the full spec.

It's cheap but not cheap enough in my opinion.
