Toshiba Satellite 420CDT.

Pentium 133 with 40mb ram
TFT screen, Internal CD drive, External floppy, Infrared port, 56k PCMCIA Modem, PS\2 port, etc.

OS is currently Windows 95, MS Word/Excel installed. Includes carry case. Little use.

Nice, solidly built little machine.

I don't know how big the hdd is, forgot to ask, but I think it's 4gb.

How much is it worth?

Maybe try for £450 and settle for £350?

not a chance in hell will he get that,
i got £200 for mine, say speed ast pc,
and that was 2 years ago,

amen · 24-08-2001 3:47pm

I'll buy it from you for IR£75

I'd be surprise if you got anything higher

Gladiator · 24-08-2001 3:53pm

thats a good offer

phaxx · 24-08-2001 4:05pm

*blank look*

£75 my **** .

amen · 24-08-2001 4:12pm

Well how much do you want ?

Check around you can buy a higher spec machine for around £150.

I only want it so my parents have a machine to surf the web with.

mentioning it's a lap top usually helps...

phaxx · 24-08-2001 6:04pm

Well I kinda thought it was obvious... PCMCIA card and all...

amen: for 75, not a chance.

I was estimating 250-300... spec doesn't matter that much once it's capable of things like surfing/word processing/etc. Sure, what good is a 700mhz machine to someone word processing?

I'd say 120 quid. It's a slow machine. 40 megs of ram drags it below the level that I reckon is tolerable, which is 64 megs.

Amen, let us know where you can get better laptops than that for £150.

Gladiator · 25-08-2001 6:48pm

i dont think he knew it was a laptop,
anywere around 100 seems fair enough dont expect to much, you may have paid 2grand + for the things but thats absolutly no reflection of its value now

Spunog UIE · 26-08-2001 1:54pm

its worth over £200 surely, i take it your planning on buying it. and not selling it. Laptops' are a **** to get cheap as i found out much to my surprise about a month ago. How much were they looking to sell it for?

yankinlk · 26-08-2001 2:05pm

try any of the buy and sells for a laptop at that spec and u will pay more than 250£

1.if it has a cd internal that ups its value 100 squid.
2.send me a mail if you have it in a week and ill sell it for u. get 1 or 2 a week looking for that spec...

dont listen to the others, they dont knwo the value cuz they havent tried to buy any before.

75 squid? are u smoking hash?

phaxx · 26-08-2001 2:13pm

It belongs to my uncle, he wants to sell it and needs to know how much it's worth.

What's this worth?
