I picked up an Atrix on the way home yesterday and I'm really liking it, so I've decided to move the Captivate along.
The phone is in great condition and the screen is absolutely perfect. I can take a picture of the actual phone if anyone wants, but here's a producct link with pictures on the Samsung website.
The phone, USB cable, charger, a soft case and a hard case will all be included. I created a thread when I first got the phone, it can be found HERE. I noted the GPS issues in that first post, and while its still not as good as the iPhone GPS, it's much better with the recent software upgrades from Samsung.
As for the OS, you have a couple options:
1 - Right now I have a custom ROM installed that works great, Cognition 3. It's based on Froyo but adds functionality I talked about HERE.
2 - If you'd rather, I can revert back to the 'official' Froyo release from AT&T, although there are a couple known issues they're still working out.
I'd recommend going with option 1, but will do whatever you want.
These are selling for $300+ on eBay. I'd like to get $250 for mine.

The Atrix, being (quasi)4g is faster for me in terms of connection speeds. Apparently I live in one of the few cities that actually has decent fake-4G performance on this phone (getting mixed reviews online from other parts of the country). Its still not as quick as the Verizon LTE hotspot I have for work, but plenty quick for anything I'll ever need.

The laptop dock doesn't add enough of what I need to warrant the price they want for it, so I'll probably be passing on it unless it comes down in price significantly.

How about $240 SHIPPED anywhere in the lower 48?
I've also returned the phone to stock and have installed the latest 'official' Froyo release from AT&T. It's very stable and GPS performance is improved over the firmware that the old Cognition ROM was based on, so this is a better option all around for most people. I can still install the Cognition ROM if you want, but right now its in its 'out of the box' state. -
