Off topic: Where can I get the highest amont of $$$ for selling...

[sherman]

a desktop computer?

My wife and I both have laptops and we have 2 desktops. I want to sell the newer desk top......nice flat screen monitor, etc.....where would I get the most money for selling it, or do people not really buy used computers?

 

[Holysmoke+]

need alot of luck with that, I used to do that for a living few years ago when I could charge over 1000 dollars.

now it is like scrap metal. pennies on the dollar. donate it to a charity or keep it,

 

[sherman]

Really? Even for a good one, eh?

 

[Holysmoke+]

tell me what you have and what you paid for it

Pentium 4 2.53 GHZ
512 RAM
80GB
64MB
Has DVD & CD burner
Flat Screen Monitor, I forget the inches, pretty big size......
Everything was bought either 2 or 3 yrs ago, I'd have to check, I can't remember.......

All HP products....

worthless?

 

[Holysmoke+]

I'd have to find out the market value and make sure it's worth it for me to sell......

 

[sherman]

price paid price asking?

I don't know what I'm asking, I don't know what the market value is (that's why i started the thread)

I think we paid close to $2000....

 

[Holysmoke+]

ouch. check ebay, and pricewatch.com.

then start crying.

 

[sherman]

I don't expect to get that money back.....

 

[sherman]

what would u guess the market value is? ballpark.

 

[Holysmoke+]

try your local paper is best advice its worth a shot.

say paid 2000 sacrifice for 1000 if you get that much offered, take it!

 

[Holysmoke+]

I could build a box similar to it for under 500

 

[Holysmoke+]

that does not include monitor, software, and win xp.

 

[sherman]

I could build a box similar to it for under 500

the monitor alone was $800!

I would take $1000 for the system....

 

[sherman]

anything less than that I might as well keep it.....

 

[Holysmoke+]

then list it in local paper, say "paid $2000, sacrifice for $1000, or keep it and donate it in a few years to charity. lots of charities need em bad and you can write it off your taxes.

I dontated several to churches and salvation army

I would tell you to email me since this is what I do for a living.

Altho the rx for some reason does not allow posting of email addresses.
