He wants to stop gaming and focus on school work, so he wants to get a mid-ranged laptop instead.

Right? lol

hey if nobody goes for it, would you part the 8800gt to me? i'll have funding in a few weeks (one or two i think)

the cheapest on newegg is $229 shipped, what would you take?

The general rule I've always gone by is that a used computer part should be priced at about 60% of it's new value... definitely not more than 75%. If you want the best price, you should try selling locally. Maybe not craigslist, as it's rather crowded for big cities, but you might try just asking around to see if someone is looking for a computer. Maybe put some fliers up.

Ya I know what you mean. It's just so hard to let it go for under 75%, when I worked so hard to pay for it all in the first place.

I've tried craigslist, and your right, it's flooded with other ads everyday. I might put some fliers up at school if they let me, and maybe the library.

Or just keep it

Ya, but you're selling it for like what, $1100? If you sold it at that, from what I remember a laptop you want is around $800. Is it really worth a difference $300 to not be able to play high end games and being able to upgrade?

I know you don't want to game much or at all anymore (I should cut back myself, lol), but why don't you just get a cheap budget laptop like I got for $399?
