Like I said, these models are worth a decent penny.

I sold for $65, not as much as I was expecting but I made some money off of it.

At least $150, but oh well, at least you got some cash.

I have never owned a mac and I am looking into buying a used g3 for fun and was just wondering, what is the big difference in g3 and g4, the one I am buying has the same processor speed and ram as this g4 but the hard drive is only 6 gigs. What does the G4 and G3 really mean?

The G4 is newer, has a faster bus, more cache, and sometimes even L3 cache. A G4 of the same, or even slower clock of a G3 would still crush it. In OS X, it's even more apparent, as the Altivec CPU extention, otherwise known as the velocity engine, is heavily optimised in OS X, and Much of it's core technologies, such as Corevideo. Overall, a G4 is much better than a G3.
