A3000 - what's it worth?

Have you looked at the battery??
If it's been stored for a couple of years, there might even be severe damage from the leaking battery - better take a look quickly and remove/replace it even if it's OK.

Just booted her up and it says:

927560 Graphics mem (i guess these are in bytes)
248048 Other mem

So 1mb RAM and 256k Fast RAM?

That's a 100% stock A3000. It came with 1 MB chip and 1 MB fast RAM. Probably 512 KB of the latter are used for the Superkickstart, and some of it for the running system.

If you hold down both mouse button on cold(!) starting the machine you will see the boot menu. It's either for switching caches/diagnosing expansion cards (2.0 or later ROMs) or choosing Kickstart 1.3/2.x (older Superkickstart machine with 1.4 boot ROMs).
I take the guess it's a Superkick machine.

16 vs 25 MHz does make a difference in potential price. 16 MHz is pretty rare, but a lot slower - but won't matter if you put in an accelerator board.
