    ey Guys,

    I'm facing a dilemma here, I would like to sell my laptop on eBay for a fairly reasonable price, but I have been away from the mobile computing scene for some time and was hoping that someone could give me a ballpark on how much I could net for my laptop:

    It's in perfect working condition, no scratches, dents, never been dropped, mint condition.

    Asus V6000V Specs:

    * Intel Pentium M 750 (1.86GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 533MHz FSB)
    * 15.1" SXGA with Crystal Shine (high brightness) (1400 x 1050) display
    * 100GB, 5400RPM Hard Drive
    * 2GB DDR2 400MHz RAM (max 2GB)
    * DVD Dual Drive (DVD + - R/RW)
    * Ports: 4 USB 2.0, 1 PCMCIA card slot, 56K Modem, Ethernet LAN port, FireWire (IEEE 1394), Infrared, SPDIF, VGA port/Mini D-sub for external monitor, headphone jack, microphone in jack
    * ATI X600 Graphics Card with 64MB RAM
    * Media Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO)
    * Wireless: 802.11 a/b/g wireless card built-in, Bluetooth built-in, Infrared
    * Dimensions: 13 x 10.7 x 1.18 inces (W x D x H)
    * Weight: 5.49 lbs (w/battery)
    * Supplied Accessories: Optical mouse, carrying bag
    * Operating System: Windows XP Professional SP2

    Here's a review of the laptop:

    I have the refresh version of it, with the same CPU, same RAM, and HD, x700 and with an IPS screen, I couldn't even get bids over $800 for mines, so I decided to keep it. I'd say $500-600.

    About $400. You can get a more powerful vostro 1500 for about $500-600.

    Damn that sucks :( I was hoping to set the BIN price to $800 on eBay and keeping the "best offer" open just in case.

    I'd say $500 is a good estimate... and that's a relatively high end estimate.

    I suggest you just keep it, unless you need the money really badly. Some things like good quality laptops simply become more valuable than what you can get for them when they get older.

    Sounds like my Toshiba Tecra 8100 which I bought new 7-8 years ago for $2400, I believe it was one of the first notebooks to come out with 3D acceleration (S3 Savage). It's worth about $50 now if that. It's since been upgraded to XP, 512MB RAM (max) and added a dvd drive and a bluetooth pccard and it's running strong, quite a testament to the durability of business class models if anything. In fact I'm using it right now since I've sold off my Asus F9 :D
