Just bought a new notebook and a friend wants to buy my old one, trouble is how much can i ask for it? I dont want to rip anyone off but I would like as much as I can get for it.

Any advice on price would be appreciated.

What would be a fair price to ask please?

That wasnt a bad spec for the age but you can get around the same for maybe £400 now and that would be new.

Have a look at similar speced machines on ebay and go from there.

I recently bought a HP TX2130 for £700 and then sold it again (circumstances changed, needed a machine with a serial port). That was a good speced machine and pretty much mid level now. Yours in todays standard is a lower spec machine and so the price would have to reflect that compared to new low spec machines.

Ask him make you an offer to see what he thinks its worth.

PS, my wife thinks im mad, I just bought a laptop thats worth £2800!!!

He's offered £120 ??? Seems OKish

125 maybe...anyhow...Tomo...now you make even ME think you're mad! a good laptop with everything you should need,doesn't have to cost more than 850 to 990....anything over 1200 for a laptop is just crazy/stupid/a ripoff...

anyhow....how good is the laptop you bought... *both of ya* and where did you buy them?.
