i am thinking about selling my current laptop, a Compaq Presario v2000 series. it has a few minor scuffs/scratches. the battery still works very good, and i would reinstall the original Windows XP Home Edition if i sold it. right now it has WinXP Pro.

Specs:
1.3GHz Intel Celeron Processor 350
512MB ram
60GB ibm travelstar hard drive
DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive
802.11 B/G wireless LAN
3x usb ports, 1x firewire port, 1x VGA port, 1x Ethernet, 1x modem
1 PC-Card slot
14.1-inch 1280x768 BrightView (i think) LCD

how much should i expect to sell this for on, say craigslist? i was looking for about $450-500 atleast, but i dont know if the laptop is worth that much.
 
you would be lucky to get $250 unless you can find someone who really doesnt know anything about the world we live in
 
Remember this is a laptop, not a desktop.

Is it a Celeron M 1.3Ghz? Or a Celeron 1.3Ghz?

I'd say it's worth around $200-$250.
 
its a 1.3GHz Celeron M, model 350, NOT the older Mobile Celeron. if it's not worth more than that then i think i will just keep it for a spare computer. plus i still have a warrenty on it. its only 1.5 years old anyways.
 
cashforlaptops.com has an estimator they use to quote how much they would pay for a laptop. try that. please note that this is not a plug for cashforlaptops!
 
if u still got a warrenty hook the brass power pins where the battery connects up to a wired wall socket and put a power serge through it.. claim it on warrenty and they will give u a brand new one of the same value.. but it will obviously be newer and better :D

no i havent but a mate has and he got a brand new Vaio in exchange for his 3 year old one with extended warrenty..

its low??? hahaha they charge us $3000 for a laptop... do u think it cost that much to make?? how much profit do u think they rake in off each customer??
getting ur moneys worth isnt low:P its funny:D

also my mate who actualy did it was only 16 and had worked for ages in a part time job to save up the $3000 he paid for the laptop which within 3 weeks of owning the pixles started to die on the screen but he wasnt able to get it fixed because of some stupid cluster regulation.. he had to have like 4 or 5 in a cluster for it to be classified a fault.. but he had like 6 scatterd on the screen! these computer companies are multi billiondollar scavangers! and u think its low to put them $3000 out of pocket?? hahaha
