11. I went to a yard sale a few years back.

The guy had a G4 laptop on the table. "Make me an offer," he said.

I've been to a lot of yard sales. I went into my spiel. Due to my having many, many paperweights already, I am reluctant to take on any more old computers. I gave him my standard offer, which is $1. That was the highest offer he had received all day. He threw in two other Mac laptops to go with it.

Yeah, it runs, but there's not really much I can do with it. You get up to OS X 10.4.11 on it, and that's the end. Any OS past that is beyond its abilities.

So Mac G4 laptops are worth 33 cents apiece. That's just about what your computers are worth. The iMac might get more due to the odd appearance.

Look them up on Low End Mac (aka This Old Mac) or Everymac to see what you have.

If you can get them running, they might work as a printer server or as a display for a yuletime burning log.
