How do I figure out the value of my computer?

I am considering selling my desktop but would first like to find out what it is worth. Is there an online resource (like a Kelly blue book for cars) where I can get an idea of its value?

Update:

Specifications: Sony Vaio, Pentium III, DVD/CD writer, flat screen monitor, 60 GB hard drive. Thats all I can think of off the top of my head (I'm not at my computer right now)

    Do you know the specifications? I can give you a clue.

    Is it a laptop or a desktop? Either way you aren't looking at much. A lot of Pentium 4 desktops aren't even worth 200 anymore, and most people wont buy used monitors, especially not CRT monitors. If its an LCD you might get some return money.

    Given that the prices of new computers have dropped so much, don't expect to get what you paid for it originally. Figure on 50% or less.
