Im currently bidding on ebay for a XPS M170, there worth new:
1,650.00 USD
1,306.36 EUR
891.646 GBP

current highest bid is my bid of:
£260.99
EUR 382.43
482.664 USD

This one is being sold as faulty because:
Its overheating
has no harddrive
not the proper grapics card
and "sometimes it won't power up unless you apply gentle pressure to the keyboard above the graphics card"

Specs

I think alot of its problems may be caused by the graphics card that is in it (X300) which should be a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800 GTX

But with all this info in mind what kinda price should I pay for it? keeping in mind that I would have to buy the right graphics card and a harddrive and maybe a battery?
