Yep, as others have said-- that particular one isn't worth very much ... the 366's and 466's are the ones in higher demand.
Batteries-- remember that on the clamshell, there is no separate PRAM battery... so when you remove the battery, you lose all your date/time settings unless you do it quickly. For resetting the battery, the typical four things: 1) PRAM zap; 2) NVRAM reset; 3) PMU reset; 4) remove all power (AC and battery), hit power a few times, let sit overnight, then reassemble everything (essentially a "deep" PMU reset). In the case of the earlier model iBooks, the Battery Reset program (only works in OS9) is also worh a try; it doesn't work on the later model machines. Finally, I find iBatt to be a great utility for checking out batteries-- it will give you hard numbers, show you if the battery is charging, etc. ...
