    Hey I bought an Alienware M17 back in February but find little use for it anymore since I don't really play games anymore and spend most of my time in Linux coding. How much do you think I could sell this for on Ebay. Assuming it was in mint condition and I had all of the original packaging, documentation, and goodies that came with it?

    that's a pretty sweet setup. certainly over 1800$, maybe 2000$. my guesstimate, anyway.

    Hmm I spent around $3,800.00 on it so $2,000.00 would be a pretty decent return I guess. I never really used ebay before so do they pay shipping or do I?

    i agree with BIGX333. m15x' with 8700m-gt sell for that kind of money. the M17 is worth much more.

    Lol? I saw an m15x with an 8700, cheapest proc, and only a 320gb hdd go for $1100.. What are you talking about?

    Look at this one, already up to $820 with 2 days left... So before you "Agree", do some research.

    i was agreeing with BIG. your first post OTOH was utterly worthless. in related news, thanks for making my point with the prices of m15x' these days.

    Yeah right. Looks like it's time for someone to check into rehab. :rolleyes:

    I think realistically you'll get $1600 to $1800. Maybe a little more with good pictures, presentation and the right bidders.

    Good luck with your sale.

    thats caused you ebayed it were people look and say ok.

    here is different because people that buy know whats up. i made more then axman and he had a cooler and ssd

    also the m17 has more value then the whitebook.
