Subject: Question about 386 Upgrading

I have a question or two about upgrading.

Currently I have the following system:
10 MHz 80286 Clone
80287 Math Coprocessor
1 Meg of RAM on the Motherboard
1.2 Meg Floppy
1.44 Meg Floppy
40 Meg Hard Drive
EGA Card (512K) and color EGA monitor

I am considering the possibility of upgrading to a 386 machine

Would it be more economical (in your opinion) to purchase a new
system and sell mine off, or to purchase a new motherboard and
possibly video card/monitor and sell mine off piecemeal.  By
the way, I am interested in the same floppy configuration and at
least a 40 Meg HD (in other words, I can live with my current size)

So what do you think?

Another question: If I were to try to sell the whole system, what
would you consider a fair price (for both the seller and buyer)?

Thanks for your assistance!
