How much should I ask for when selling my ibook G4 12inch PowerPC if the power jack doesn’t work?

As mentioned in the title, I have a PowerPC ibook G4 (512mb RAM) that stopped charging. I had it checked out and it turns out that the jack where you plug in the power cord is bad. I have no interest in fixing it, as I have a new laptop. Anyone have any idea of what kind of money I can get out of it? I’d like to get around $80 if possible.

Whatever you can get minus what the Apple Store charges for fixing it (figure $100-$200 – possibly more) minus anywhere from $10 to over $100 for the inconvenience for the buyer in having to bring it in and waiting for it to be fixed. And, if you’ve run the battery down because of the broken jack, subtract the price of a new battery.

The jack is mounted on the motherboard. If that broke, subtract about another $400.

(You’d have to know how much the Apple Store charges for the repair, the condition of the battery and whether the motherboard is broken before you could offer it for honest sale. You can probably find it all out with one trip to the store.)
