    I bought my alienware m17 r4 in 2012, it has a Intel 3730 cpu 16 gigs of ram a Intel 256 solid state drive and a 750 gig hard drive in it. It came with a 7970 ati gpu and Windows 7. It is in excellent condition, I was thinking about asking 900.00 for it. Does that sound about right or am I asking too much?

    900? That thing is worth around $1500! You're asking too little for it!

    R3's go for $900-1100. That goes the same for R2's.

    Check Ebay.....I see R4's on there from $1000-$1200. Ultimately it is going to depend what someone wants to pay for it in the end.

    $900 is not much for your machine, I'm sure you could ask for more. Try checking on the link J.Dre shared.
