    Is a 2nd hand MX 11 R1 worth approx $480 ?

    I can get one on our local EBAY but want to see if people think this is a good price or not?

    Just by searching ebay, it looks like a lot of them are selling at $600 so I'd say it's a good deal. Just make sure everything works, etc. Also, be aware that as a potential new m11x owner, you're going in the niche of portable notebook and gaming laptop and so sacrificing a little bit of both to fit in the niche. But as with buying anything, the real question is if it's worth it to you.

    As a policy, I factor in a new battery to the price of all used m11x computers. A r1 is going to need a battery soon as they seem to last a little over a year.

    So keep in mind that a new battery is near 200$

    Frustrating that the is the only 2nd hand MX11 being sold locally and all the US Ebay ones I find say "This seller doesn't offer international shipping."

    I can help you with that. I ship automotive fabric all over the world so I am well versed in VAT tax.
