    Hey guys, so I had an Alienware 17 for less than a year, it gave me so many problems (video card, lights damaged, screen pixelated, damaged USB) and had me go for an ordeal of warranty fixes (had 2 techs come to my house and sent it 3 times to the shop), that eventually they decided to replace it for another system, upgraded to very nice components. But through the months I bought a new computer and now I don't need this new replacement. It's brand new, built on October 18 2014, I didn't even turn it on.

    So I want to sell it but since it's a very expensive item, I figured Ebay would be the safest but the most expensive (I think they take at least 10% of the sales price in fees) but I was thinking other options like Craigslist. Anyhow, I wanted to see what you guys think should be a fair price for it and if anybody has any suggestions for selling it. Here are the specs:


    - Alienware 17 Base.

    - 4th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4910MQ processor (Quad Core, 8MB Cache, Overclocked up to 4.1GHz).

    - Alienware 17 Anodized Aluminum.

    - NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTX 880M graphics with 8GB total GDDR5.

    - 32GB Dual Channel DDR3L 1600MHz (4x8GB).

    - Windows 7 Professional 64 bit Service Pack 1, English, w/Media.

    - 17.3 inch (439.42 mm) WLED FHD (1920 x 1080) Anti-Glare Display.

    - 1TB 5400RPM SATA 6Gb/s + 80GB mSATA Caching.

    - Slot-Loading Dual Layer Blu-ray Reader (9.5mm).

    - 8-cell Lithium Ion (86 wHr) Battery.

    - US 125V Power Cord.

    - Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 @ 5GHz + Bluetooth 4.0.

    - Intel 802.11n/ac Wireless and Bluetooth 4.0 driver.

    - English Keyboard.

    - Software: Microsoft Office 2013 Trial.

    - Alienware Command Center 3.0.

    - System Software for Alienware M17xR1.

    Thanks!
