Call him... better yet, drop by (though, I hear he's busy). An e-mail
response from Terry takes a while b/c he's so busy! (we keep him busy with
all our Macs, don't we :)

Terry'll be able to tell you what you could get for it, but chances are a
dead iMac + $200 repair will fetch more than what you'd get for dead iMac
alone (b/c people would be taking a risk that might not pan out buying a
dead iMac your price will be depressed even more than the cost of repairs).
