It wasn't really an emotional goodbye but with some sadness, I sold my almost to the day four year old PowerMac G5. It was one of the first ones built, a 1.8 GHz single processor machine. The beautiful enclosure with slowly and quietly running fans inside still looked like new but the heavy weight limited the selling options.

There are a couple place on the Web (MacOfAllTrades being one of those) that buy or trade used Macs. The purchasing prices they offer are not great but I wouldn't call them completely unfair either. However, the seller is responsible for paying the shipping fees to their location, which, considering the dimensions and weight of a G5, can be a significant.
MacOfAllTrades is certainly one option to sell a Mac and also a good way to find out what the absolutely lowest offering price is, one might have to accept. However, like many other Mac buyers and sellers, I prefer Craigslist .

Asking for a fair price will definitely get some Mac fans interested and in my case, it took only two days and the G5 was gone. No shipping fees - the new owner of my good old friend came by and picked it up.

Farewell PowerMac G5, farewell ...
