BleepingComputer.com: How Much Is This Laptop Worth?

Hello everyone,

I'm thinking about selling my HP laptop and buying a smaller one but I am unsure about how much I should ask for it. If you could give me a price range that would be great.

*Side note- When I bought the laptop from Fry's, I also purchased a 5-year unconditional warranty. Fry's allows me to transfer titles of this warranty so the person buying this laptop would still have 3 years of full protection. (Pretty much all repairs are free and if the problem continues to arise they will credit you with the value of the laptop to buy a new one/other stuff)*

Advertise it. Current market value will show in your area.

I doubt you will get more than $600 USD in the USA with all the custom builds today here.

It would be somewhat helpful to know how much you paid for it 2 years ago.

I see more powerful laptops with 3G of RAM being advertised for $699 to $899, so I'd be surprised if you got near $600 for it.

Sorry.

Thanks both of you for the replies. When I bought it, its market value was around $1650.

I wasn't expecting much, but at least I can get something for it =]

I would imagine £300 which roughly translates into $600 would be a fair price, the RAM and the graphics would be my main concern. I would upgrade the RAM, it may increase the price slightly.

I just said more because of the warranty. Oh well. I have seen many of these for like 600 though on the craigslist. I actually want one but I am not ready to pay for a new one yet.

Thanks for all the comments guys! Really appreciate it!

I think I might start off at $700 and work my way down to $600 to see how much I can get for it.
