Default How Much Is My Laptop Worth?

HI all..

Iam trying to sell my laptop on ebay..and am just wondering how much it is proberly worth?

It is a fujitsu siemens amilio laptop with Spec: 2.4 Pentium Celeron Processor--256mb ram--40 gig hard drive. In silver with a 15" Moniter.

The only thing wrong with it is the battery is now dead.

Just wondering if anyone knows how much it is worth now as i paid £700 for it 2 years ago?

many thax alan

without a battery its not worth anything to me. laptops are for portability and without a battery, you basically just have a small desktop. i would suggest including a battery with it.

Maybe $200.00 Us. The specs you listed are not very impressive when you look at the price of new computers.

$600 for a USED Celeron based laptop, with a small HDD and low DDR RAM, not to mention it's 2+yrs old?!?!? Yah right, no one computer literate would pay that much. An honest pricing would be $300-$400 i would think. Oh god, and no battery...well knock ~$50-70 off that price.

i forgot if it was toshiba or some other larger computer company. they appraise your computer and will give you that amount for the computer. my $1700 laptop from last year with pentium 4 2.8 ghz, 512 mb of ram, radeon 9700, 60gb hard drive 5400 rpm was worth $400
