How much is this worth?

Pick berries in the summer, mow lawns in the spring and summer shovel snow in the winter, get a paper route. Collect cans and bottles{we have a refund for them here in Oregon, disregard that part if your state hasn't passed a bottle bill} Save your allowance, tell your parents you are willing to do extra jobs around the house.

Hey everybody,
thanks for the advice and help. I have acquired a loan from my parents, enough to pay for all the parts.

SO, this means the specs have changed FOR THE ORIGINAL COMPUTER. I added an AMD Athlon XP 2600+ 2.13gHz processor, a keyboard, and a mouse. Also, i upgraded the 30gb HDD to a 40gb.

Please, can i get a new estimate? everything is used but in a good condition.

in case anyone was wondering, i picked out:

Xion II XON-103 Full-Tower case w/ 450w power supply
250gb Seagate Barracuda HDD
Lite-On CD/DVD-RW Drive
Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse
Corsair XMS2 2gb (2 x 1gb) DDR2 RAM
ASRock motherboard
Intel Celeron D 356 Cedar Mill 3.33gHz processor
BFG Tech nVidia 7300 GT 512mb video card

I don't really get what you're doing? You've got money off your parents, so you upgraded the old computer?

I would put it flyers and such, with a contact number, somebody will get in touch with you, then the word will spread like wild fire

no i got the money to build a new comp, and im selling the old comp. the specs changed because i have more money, so i can put my old parts that i planned to keep in the old comp and sell them.

I see what you mean...

benihana99 · 02-22-2008, 09:24 PM

anyone? the sooner the better

Id say keep it and have it as a computer to download music onto or something. It's really not worth anything more than your own person use as a POS computer

benihana99 · 02-24-2008, 01:21 AM

are you sure? i dont really need a second comp and i need the money. do u think i could sell for $220? it was $500+ new and in a decent condition

I would offer it for 200$ on craiglist and drop the price if you don't get replies.

well... you said your dad is a lawyer... im sure over spring vacation you can work for him for comeputer parts. then this summer you can work for the same thing. you can file papers or whatever else he needs. mowe the lawns, hit up people in the area around you for the same thing. ask if there is any work arounf the house they need done for money so you can build your computer. there is alot of ways to make money. just sell your labor to the highest bidder
