Advice on laptop sale

Allen Flynn

Hi,

I'm just looking for some advice. I am looking to sell my laptop privately and am looking for an expert opinion on a fair price for it.

I am selling a sony vaio, f series laptop, model number pcg 81313m. It is not a common laptop and is €1300 brand new. My laptop is 18 months old and I am just wondering what would be a fair price to ask as I feel €750 or €700 is fair. Am I over pricing it due to sentimental reasons or is this fair?

Thanks

Allyall

I find that Sony Vaio's don't hold their value very well, they are often seen as overpriced, and replacement parts are often very expensive.
That said, You could put it up on adverts for €850 - €900 with a bit of information and specs in the advert details, and accept the closest offer that you think you'll receive.


Obviously condition and spec will come into it.

I would say you'll get about €500 for it.

It's a fairly old model so there is no realistic 'new' price for it, only old listing prices.

It's middle of the road spec wise, low end graphics card, 6gb ram, 640gb hard drive, 2nd gen i7 which is still decent enough but on the whole....
