Selling Laptop: Price Advice?

chrislad

I just bought a new PC today, so I'm selling my old laptop. I'm just not sure how much it is worth. I got it for 1500 about 2 years ago. Here's the spec

Compaq Presario 2500
Pentium 4 2.6
512 MB RAM (2 x 256)
60gig HD (5200 RPM)
64 MB ATI Graphics Card (Shared with RAM, Basically Quake 3 games and below)
USB 2.0 (x 3)

It's loaded with XP Pro SP 2 and it works fairly well. It has your standard Ethernet, Modem, Serial and VGA port. It also have a Wireless Card built in (g I think). There's also a CD-RW drive, but this is fairly banjaxed, and I'll be giving a HP External DVD burner instead of this.

Other than that, it's in fairly good nick. It's partitioned, cleaned regularly, and protected with anti-spyware, virus and the whole lot. I've never had any virus or spyware problems with it. There's been no major hardware issues with anything other than the CD Drive (which I assume can be replaced. I don't have the time for it, as it's a non issue with the external drive)

I was thinking in the region of 400euro. Thanks.

Youd prolly get 500 for that

I would say you will get maybe €600 for it, a laptop of that spec would be around €1100 new, it has great specs and 60gb is a nice size hdd for a laptop and built in 802.11g and windows xp pro, you with get more if you sell it to someone with more money than sense:D

battery life ?
recipts etc.?

Battery life is about 1.5 to 2 hours.

No receipts as it was bought by my Uncle in the States, which reminds me that both are US items, though both come with transformers and adapters. The warranty has expired on both.
