Title: How much would you pay for a non working A3000 system?

I hope not this much (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5162571823)! :-o

Deffintly not. It's basicly just a desctop case with bits and bopps of unknown status for replacements. I'd give about 1/5 of the winning bid tops.

I bid on that one.  The condition looked real good.  Most likely the issue was with the battery or HD.

Still, it did go too high.  My max bid was $50, but I'm local so I didn't have to account for shipping.

This one for sure has a leaky battery as my A3000 also had amber/display issues when the battery barely leaked!!!  I replaced the battery and cleaned it up and saved it.  So this one probably has more damage if the display is whacked like that.  This price is way too high for a defunct unit.  For a working unit that would be a fine price to pay since it is in good physical shape.  You gotta love eBay!!

Good.  Grief.

I paid $20 for an as-is motherboard...  And I thought that that was pushing the boat out!
