selling Mac Mini for part or repair

I want to know if there is someone want to buy a broken mac mini or buy it for part? The problem is this mac don't boot, it show a world icon or a folder with a question mark '?'.

I don't want to spend time on this so I figure I could give a really good deal if someone here has the time to fix it, this could be worth it. I'm shipping international.

it's a 2006, intel with 2 gig ram (full), 500 gig drive. There is no optical drive (cd stuck) . It got firewire plug and 4 USB, network and airport too.

Hello,

First, your computer is easily repairable if you have an external optical drive or can fix the internal drive (Installation d'un lecteur optique dans le Mac mini modèle A1176). The "folder with a question mark" logo means that your Mini can't find an OS to boot from. This means one of two things:

Your hard drive is corrupted. You'll probably lose all of the files on the hard drive (unless you use recovery software), but you can reinstall the OS with an OS X DVD.
Your hard drive is broken. You've lost all your files, but if you replace the hard drive (Installation d'un SSD dans le Mac mini modèle A1176) you can have your computer running good-as-new.

If you still wish to sell your computer, I would recommend eBay. iFixit is not a marketplace for buying and selling old computers, though.

Hope this helps!
