good luck selling a PC on craigslist. i put an ad up for mine the other day and got bombarded from scumbags trying to pull scams on me. make sure you really stress in the ad that you are taking cash pickups only... you will still probably get a few scam emails. they usually go something like this:

"hi i am buying this PC for my sister out of state, i would like to offer you an additional 250 to ship it to me !!! please get back to me with your name , address, and phone number"

if you see ANYTHING like this, delete the email. or send them a nasty response. try putting it on ebay, you'd have a lot more luck with them. or an ad in the local newpaper

I'm just going to say locals only. I'm also going to put it on ebay. Me and Kuz are figuring it out.

I would defintely not downclock it back to stock speed. If someone does there research and sees the product and says "I thought that 5600 was at 2.8ghz" then tell them you overclocked it. You may get more money out of it.

I got an offer (actually two, but one of them was a crappy Toshiba laptop). This guy offered $915 for it, without the monitor. I replied back saying I would want at least $1,100 for it, and I'm hoping I get at least $1,000 out of it. I figured out that for $915 I could afford my wanted build in January 2008 with the Q9645, but I'd be completely out of money, and have no computer for about 3 months. I'm gonna try to say $1,000, but let him take as long as he can (hopefully 2-3 months lol) to get it. Still waiting for a reply from this guy, but wish me luck. =)

take the 915... thats probably the most you will get for it

If I am forced to take $915 I'll ask if I can sell it to him in a month or so, so I have a computer for longer.

Dude, I would take the $915. Just built that brand new on Newegg.com for $805 without taking into account the $80 worth of rebates. This is including all in your spec list, and the G15. I didn't include a crt monitor because people give away those things on craiglist regularly. Windows isn't that much for a new copy either and wasn't sure if that was even included.

when you get rebates back that brings that down to 725.93

Cut out some of the filler crap. Copy and pasted because i can't link to a temp wishlist as you won't see anything.


If it were me I would sell it but, do what you need to. Most people won't wait to buy something though. So you might lose it.
