* Be sure to deactivate the iTunes authorization on the machine before sending it off!

FYI, SL is just $19.99 from Apple.com

I'd probably leave the 320gb in also - you'd probably get that value back in increased bidding.
Legality aside, you could take that 60GB drive and do a clean install of Snow Lepord on it because some people don't want to do the App store dance - buy and download it - when they can just pop in your drive and rock and roll. You may get double what it is worth just bare formated
Also I found out that the Apple store uses (or used to use) Mr. Clean magic erasers to make the laptops look like new when u take them in for service. Try and clean it up with that.

Thanks for the advice. I think we have a Magic Eraser here (you're not the only one suggesting that). And yes, we already deauthorized the computer from iTunes. Now I just have to uninstall Undercover.

You could get some interesting images if you don't. On the other hand you could be accused of so many things ... Yeah, uninstall it.

those original 60GB drives were problematic.
Apple even issued a replacement program, long since closed.

If it were me I'd put the 60GB back in and sell the 320 separately. Probably make another $30-40.
