laptop for sale

newguy5 · 01-15-2008, 05:26 PM

it's an dell inspiron, has a p3 800mhz, 128mb RAM, 15gb hard drive, and no operating system. just formatted completely and that's all. it had ME on it and all the dell crap and work crap, so i just formatted everything since ME is useless and all my stuff and dell's stuff was bogging the thing down. i want about $150 for it shipped, but have no clue what a reasonable price is. i can take some pics. has a very nice leather case that comes with it also.

im not intrested in it but $130 is around £66 so dont think thats a bad deal.

as for you wiping windows,Why not install linux on it and sell it like that so it can be shown working and all that?

Pick at your will. I'd recommend uBuntu though.

I agree with the above.. a quick Ubuntu install could help complete the sale, since the person who buys it could see that it functions once they get it, rather than having to worry about downloading and installing an OS before they can use it.
