    $900 would be Dell.com price lol.
    If you want to legitimately sell it, Maybe $750. That 8GB ram sure is a nice upgrade.

    I'll be highjacking this thread.
    I7 8gb, bluetooth and ssd.

    How much would you pay for that?

    My guess would be 800-850. The closer you get to 1000 the less people will want it since they can get an R3 for 1050. Most R2s will bring in between 700-850 depending on specs.

    Yours might be closer to 850 with the BT and SSD but not more

    Used R2's are worth 600-750$ depending on warranty length.

    It's important to note that i5 R2's are 750$ in the outlet before coupons, so 750$ should be the max asking price, considering the outlet R2's come with a full 1 year warranty :)

    I can't imagine anyone paying 900$ for an R2 since you can get an R3 from the outlet for less.

    Oh, and don't use ebay as a pricing reference tool. I monitor it alot and there's people who have been posting the same laptop for months with no sales. They just repost over and over hoping to find someone who hasn't done their pricing research :)

    OP: Realistically, you won't get more than $800, If you get $750 that would be impressive. Expect around $700-750 but not more.
