[kalli]

Hi all,

How much should I be expecting to get for my laptop if I traded it in?

The specs are as follows:

- HP Pavillion ze4400
- Mobile AMD Athlon XP2400+ 1.79Ghz
- 512MB RAM
- Toshiba 40GB HDD
- Integrated Radeon IGP 320M
- Integrated Ehternet NIC
- Integrated 56k Modem
- Integrated 802.11b Broadcom WLAN
- Integrated Altec Lansing Speakers
- Firewire
- 2x USB1
- CDRW/DVD Combo Drive
- Scratchpad
- S-Video out

Also has the following accessories:
- Dell bag
- USB2 PCI Card
- External Sony USB Floppy Drive
- International power cable
- External Altec Lansing Series100 Speakers
- Swann Laptop Webcam
- Swann Laptop Mini Mouse
- Windows XP
- Compaq Disks and User Guide

The reason I am seeking a trade in is because I no longer need a laptop and am upgrading my desktop PC.

The condition is excellent. The only damage is that part of the "E", "S" and "C" letters have been scratched off.

I bought the laptop for $1200 (refurbished) approx 2.5 years ago.

2.5years...

I'd pay $250 no more.

sorry, just doing some simple deprecitation in my head, taking that the average lifetime of a laptop is 3 years.

to me, laptops depreciate very quickly no matter how good they are and how well they are taken care of.

fatmuscle said HE would pay no more

There are lots of stupid people out there.
If you sell it right, bet you could get double...maybe triple that...

good point


I paid $500 for a laptop.
2nd hand. 1/2 a year old and barely used. I knew it was barely used because it was my sister's work laptop which she got and left in the house.

it was a pentium m 1.9?
60Gb HDD
1GB RAM.

XP, MS Office Pro


The work paid $2.5 for it.
and half a year later, I paid $500 for it

Specs are only half of what you look at. the other half would be usage.

but yeah, feel free to delete this thread if you have a good buyer
