Selling Laptop - Price Advise!
 
Hi guys,

Haven't been on here for a few months, so a bit cheeky to come back on for some advise - but i'm gonna do it anyway.

Basically i need some cash and am (hopefully) going to sell my laptop and downgrade.

It's about a year old (warranty is now over).

Bought from Novatech.

Spec:

P4 3.06GHZ (desktop processor)
1024MB PC2100 RAM
60GB HDD (not sure of speed)
CDRW/DVD Drive (not working properly - a new one will cost ~£90)
nVidia GeForce FX GO 5600 with 64MB DDR RAM
Battery does not work anymore, so would have to be constantly connected to power supply - or buy a new battery.


That's about it, what sort of price do you think I could get for that?

Cheers,

Jo

When you know what it's worth you could advertise it in our for sale/wanted section :)

How much did you buy it for?

Looking at prices I'd make a guess at 700-800

700-800 :dozey: I bought mine for £699 with everything working.

Errr, I think a guess of 700-800 isn't bad, seeing as yours cost exactly one pund less that Kliros lowest price :p:

Back then it was almost exactly £1000 (not sure what the exact price was, couple of pounds either side tho...).

It is starting to look like it may nor be worth selling it as no-one would be willing to buy it anyway!!

Unfortunately things like laptops will depreciate a fair amount as newer ones with better capabilities come out for cheaper prices, it looks like a good spec, is there any reason for wanting to sell it?

at a rough guess , a battery could be upto £100 add that to the cd drive and you are rapidly heading into new laptop territory , why not stick it on e-bay and see what happens ?????? :)

id pay 350 for it as the warranty is up.

If it was within warranty even by 2 months you could reasonably expect 500-600 depending on what make and model etc.

Yep, have a look en ebay for recently sold laptops of a similar spec, so that you get an idea of what you could expect to get. Think there's an option on the left hand side to show 'completed auctions'.... don't really use ebay cause it does my head in. But at least it would give you a ballpark figure.
