I have a friend who wants to buy my old laptop (Packard Bell 500mhz, 60mb, 6gb, windows 98se), but I don't know how much I should ask for (I am planning to do a master reinstall from the cds)? She doesn't want a brand new machine, just a typewriter and internet machine!!! Any (serious) ideas?

p>It depends on

1. �How good a friend she is


2. �How much you would sell it for to someone you don't know


3. What damage etc it has suffered


4. What prices are in the local small ads

Personally I would definitely have loved to pay around �300 for your laptop
but I had to settle for a new one as the second hand market is iffy in my area.

Around �300-�400 I would say is about right.

Check out ebay for similar and adjust to your friendship needs.

I'd probably pay about �250 considering the market at the moment. The amount of RAM is a disappointing feature which brings the price down, but apart from that it seems fine, especially as a typewriter/internet machine!

But banana brings up a good point, how good a friend is she? :-)

[gontofe]

well,

A good enough friend that I don't really wanna be ripping her off!

Seriously though, I just wanted to know a decent price, �400 seems quite a high price to my mind, �200-300 seems better.

Thanks guys!
