How much can I get for this Windows laptop? (So I can put towards a Pro)

[vampireszombies]

Ok I'll be buying a Macbook pro soon because I need a computer to last me during college and have better battery life so to help out with the cost I want to sell my year old Sony Vaio.

Its a VPCEE25FX

2.1 GHz AMD Athlon II DualCore processor P320
ATI Radeon HD 4250 Graphics
15.5 inch
4GB RAM
320GB HDD
Blu-Ray ROM optical drive
Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit
In pretty top notch condition.

I paid about $750 for it Jan 2010.
I never sold a computer before and am planning to craigslist it.
I also dont know how to restore it to factory conditions since it did not come with any cds; but thats a whole nother thread somewhere.

How much should I ask for it?


Thanks!

With dated specs like those, you'll be lucky to get $350.

i think thats slightly high as laptops (at least in Canada) have been selling dirt cheap lately.

I just bought a lenovo for my dad. Granted it was a refurb. but was packaged and looked absolutely brand new. Dual core intel cpu, 3 gb ram, 320 gb hdd, 1 gb dedicated graphics, 15.4 inch screen

paid 229.99 + taxes (15%) out the door.

boxing day will bring even better deals. Id honestly say you'd be looking at $300. But the benefit in yours is the blu ray drive, so i think u may be able to squeeze another 75 bucks for that.

u can buy a brand new laptop these days for around 200 bucks LOL

 

[vampireszombies]

Hmm I might be better off just keeping it lol
I'll shoot for $300-375

How much can I get for

No matter what the topic the answer to your question is always "look at comparable recent sales". Use ebay, Craigslist, etc. It's not rocket science.

Keep it for testing

I would and have kept a Windows computer around to test, keep junk files and download curtain things so my MacBookPro stays fresh. I try to help friends that don't have Apple with the HP Laptop i have, because i can't explaine to them "how to do" things on two differant kinds of systems. I see used laptop like that run for about $125-$175 on a street style market.

Or run a Windows VM in Parallels/VMWare etc.
