  I have a PowerBook 520c 4/240 with about about 10 months of warranty
remaining that I no longer have a need for; my work bought me a 1400c
so it doesn't make sense to keep mine. I'm just going through the 
process of selling it. 

  The 520c has built-in ethernet; all of the newer models do not have
it.
It also has video-out, which some of the newer models do not have.
It also has internal SCSI, instead of the inferior IDE drives that the 
newer models use. I have the original box, manuals, disks, etc. The 
screen is in great shape and it has none of the problems that recent 
models do with frequent crashing. 

  Until I got my 1400c through work, I was going to upgrade the 520c 
to a PowerPC. It can be done pretty easily for only a few hundred 
dollars using Newer's NuPowr upgrade; I saw it in operation at 
MacWorld Expo and it's quite cool.

  Used pricing seems to be around $1300 for a model like mine in good 
shape. I'm selling mine for only $1095, which is an even better deal 
since I still have warranty on mine and most of the ones you'll find 
no longer have any warranty. I have a brand new, unopened extra 
battery worth over $100 which we could also work into the deal if 
you're interested.

  Please send e-mail if you're interested. I'm in the Minneapolis/
St. Paul area and could possibly deliver the machine locally. Cash/
certified checks only, please.
