YOU may have paid that much for it. But in the industry of computer technology, value drops dramatically in just one year.
Reason 1 why it is worth less: As other people said, why would anyone buy a slightly used PocketPC when they could pay less and get a newer, faster, better one. Use this analogy: "I'm selling a barely used Windows 98 Pentium II Laptop for $900." You can get a laptop from Dell for cheaper, faster and with Windows XP.
Reason 2: It's used. Even if slightly used, decreases value regardless.
Reason 3: It's old. It doesn't matter if you have a green 4-color Gameboy was never opened, for example. Mint condition, it's still not worth more than the couple hundred someone would pay for a GBA SP with games.
Reason 4: You've been trying to sell it for this long and no one has bought it. Should be obvious.
Reason 5: It's a rip-off. I bought my Dell Axim X30 16-bit color ppc with 624Mhz XScale cpu, 64MB RAM, Windows Mobile 2003 Second Ed OS, for $289. New! Why in the world would anyone with any human brain in their head spend $300+ for a monochrome/black-white PocketPC, 206 Mhz cpu, PocketPC 2000 OS (4 versions lower now technically), and only 16MB RAM. Half the software out there won't even run on it anymore. And those that do, may run too slow to use. Or do not support monochrome screens.
Reason 6: It may have been hardly used but the battery is 2 or 3 years old now. Anyone who gets it now, is going to have a more limited lifespan versus a new PocketPC that is better in every way for less money.
Reason 7: If you can buy it online from some store because they have it in stock, still new, for less than what you are trying to e-bay it for. Then wake up and smell the coffee.
Reason 8: There was a deal going around when that device came out, from Circuit City I believe. Where you could get that PPC for $150 after a few Rebates. I know exactly 23 people who followed through with it. And that is NEW.
