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.
 
DO NOT LISTEN TO TUMMYPONY HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE IS SAYING, YES HE IS NOT AN EXPERT. Your notebook is worth at least 3 times that

what I would do is google something like

buy siemens amilio laptop .........
put in the rest of the info

$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.
 
well all the notebooks I have seen for $200 - $300 are pent 2 333mhzs
or less

let them google ...they will see for themselves
 
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

For $300 you can do loads better, at least a P3 or if you're lucky a Celeron. I osld my P3 866MHz laptop for $100 and it had DVD, 17", 40GB HDD, etc. But im jsut nice lol

I'll buy it for $450 :)

I'd have to say yours is worth around $400.
 
yes I would buy a 2.4 gig notebook for $450

so you sold your notebook for $100...going buy the internet and stores that specialize in just used notebooks, you lost $300+
all you have to do is plug it into google
I know I am currently seeking a notebook to run OBDII scanner software to interogate my cars onboard processor to get fault codes. The software runs in win98 on up. I do not know if I should get a new or old notebook. and believe me all the places I checked the only notebook you coud get in the $100 -$200 rannge was a k6 233 with 8 m ram 13inch mono monitor....p3 833mhz were like $300-$400 +

I didn't lose anything, i got the notebook for free and sold it for $100 cuz' i didn't need it.

Stores overprice, when you trade/sell with friends you always lowball.

If it's slower than a P3, don'y pay more than $50 for it. Simply not worth it.

For $300-400 you can build a portable AMD Athlon-XP machine, and easily 2000MHz out of it.

are you talking about the one in your sig? it appears to be a desktop, but why do you have an xp-mobile processor in it? sorry for the off topic.

Simple. Mobile processor use less voltage (desktop version of this processor requires 1.65v stock.) This processor only requires 1.4v to run 200*10 (technically it's 1.45v, but it runs fine on 1.4v)

Also, compared to the desktop version of this processor, they overclock very well. Mobile XP's have gone past 3GHz, but my personal best is only 2.65GHz (265*10) due to a faulty motherboard voltage regulator.

Overall, they are superior in just about every category when compared to the desktop versions. They overclock better and run cooler.
