For a general idea of the current value of your product, E-Bay is a great place to see what people are bidding for it. Although I cannot afford to pay you for your equipment, I believe it is good to know the value of what you are giving away. Simply type the item you own in the search box, hit enter, then click the "search completed auctions" link after your results come up. This should give you a descent idea of the current value of your hardware and/or software.
