Some questions on selling my non-apple laptop.

[jakochampolska]

Okay, for about 2 years it was my dream to have a powerbook computer, my parents wont buy it for me so I have to look into some alternitives. Like selling my current laptop.I know I should of put this post under Marketplace but for some reason it wont let me post under there. So I thought this would be the second place I'd turn too.

Anyways, I have a Compaq Presario 2100 (I have pictures) The specs:
1.6 GHz Intel Celeron
256 MB SDRAM
30 GB IDE Hard Disk
CD-RW: 24x (read), 8x (write), 8x (rewrite); DVD-ROM: 8x;
Windows XP Home Edition

Its in fairly good shape, the only visual damage you can see is on the bottom of this laptop which are just some big straches.
Okay, my question is: If I where to sell this on ebay,along with my hp deskjet 920c printer and my canon scanner (I have pictures of these too) how much do you think I should sell this for?

(Mods you can move this post or delete it if you want, I know its not under the right forum!)
Thanks,
Chantal

Ahh man....PC's have almost hardly any value these days, it stinks.

I sold an AMD Athlon XP-M 2800+ @ 1.6Ghz
512MB RAM
40GB HD
15" XGA Display
DVD+-RW Dual Layer 8x
XP Home

For $500 cash. That's the best I could get. :-\

Oh I know!!! When I went to bestbuy.com to see what the specs are for my laptop and I saw those chunky PC laptops it just made me think of how the design for apple computers are so much nicer and cleaner. PCs are so bluky and heavy looking.

But I think I'll start selling my laptop for around 400-500 dollars, I hope I get some bidders!

You need 100 posts to post in the Marketplace forum, as stated in the sticky thread in said forum: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/30505/

It's always a very good idea to read sticky threads before creating a new one


The only selling advice I can offer is to put it on eBay (like you said) for a price that you think is reasonable, and if it doesn't sell, lower the price by $100 or so. Mind you, I've never sold anything on eBay....
