Well, if you mean NEW units, ask Apple, Inc.

Historically, Apple machines have held their value pretty well over the
years.  But, now that Apple has discontinued the GS, and is selling so-
called "Cheap" macs (with several new models each year) the bottom
has begun to fall out of the market.

I've seen entire GS systems go in the $500-700 range recently.
