I think we'll need some more information, like how much memory and whether or not it has a working OS installed, how many hours of use is on the SSD and how many charge cycles and/or remaining charge capacity is on the battery. Given that, I can only go by what I've paid for for X301 systems on eBay in the last month:

- X301 w/4GB memory, no HD, DVD-RW, no battery - $125
- X301 w/4GB memory, no HD, DVD-RW, no battery - $101

I figure a good (used) battery at $25, a genuine Lenovo/Thinkpad power supply for $15 and a (slightly used) 120GB SSD around $60. So that puts it around $200. Adjust for exchange rate to $NZ and local market conditions (i.e., is it a buyer's or seller's market where you're at). Note that I'm a cheapskate and try my best to get systems at the lowest possible price. There have been some recent sales on eBay for X301/4GB/120GB HDD (not SDD) from $160 to almost $400. Just IMHO of course.
