    >>>>>>>>>>>Hello all... I have a new Compaq Presario v2010 for sale. I have only opened it to install the full versions of Jasc Paint Shop Pro, Microsoft Office 2003, and McAfee. A day after I opened the box, my mother came home with an IBOOK that she had bought off of a friend (brand new, mind you, and what i've always wanted). The laptop is in PERFECT condition, not a single scratch or scuff at all.

    Here are the specs, if you already did not know: amazon v2010 site

    I am asking 1200 because it does include the full version of Microsoft 2003 and because it is really actually brand new. comes with all original packaging, reboot discs, etc.

    please email me at [email protected] if interested.<<<<<<<<<<<<



    There is a buy and sell forum on this board ,if I am not mistaken [ ;)]
    You won't get $1200 for a celeron processor [V]
    Office 2003 is outdated.Current is Office XP

    Actually Office 2003 is the current version and is newer than Office XP. As for including it on the laptop, it's not a legal version so has no value. I agree, $1200 for a used v2000 with Celeron is a stretch.

    jessica you poor 18 year old geek.

    You did come out like a scamster .

    You are giving a link to a overpriced amazon site instead of giving specs yourself.

    And your "its actually new' story stinks.

    Sorry, but you might get away by flogging it on "ebay"

    Guys on this site are more savvy then the guys on ebay [ :D][ :D][ :D]

    And how can anyone trust an 18 year old with 1200 $$ [ ;)][ ;)]

    Selling notebooks priced at $1200 is not a kids job. You still dont know what it means to be scammed..

    Your story stinks.. "also i'm not too sure how i'd return it... i don't have any of my invoice papers anymore as my mother threw them all away by accident. plus it has been sitting around for quite a while."

    If you dont know how to sell in the real world dont ever blame your age..be it real or phony.

    You are also new to this forum and your first post is for selling an item..

    Sorry if that doesnt scream SCAM.. I dont know what else does.

    man nice job of making yourselves look like a bunch of real assholes.

    i've actually already sold two laptops before. a gateway 4520 (or something of that sort) and an emachines m blah blah something.

    and if it makes any difference, i have been scammed before. i tried selling my car last summer, almost got myself into a huge lawsuit and lost a lot of money because a ****head from nigeria decided it would be cute to write me a couterfeit check.

    nice detective work? oh man my livejournal. aren't you so slick?

    sorry you think my story stinks. i seriously have had this laptop sitting around for about 2 months because i can't find someone to buy it and i hate selling on ebay because you get a much lower price than expected. i was once very pleased with the way i could sell my laptop on amazon, but they took away the option to sell used computers. to tell you the truth i'd rather try and sell it to someone over the internet than fool with sending it back to hp/compaq waiting for them to look up an invoice... and send me a check. i'm in no real hurry to have any money for it at the moment as i'm not doing WITHOUT a computer.

    the reason i my first post was a selling post is because i figured i would try a message board instead of ebay (and amazon doesn't do it anymore).

    you could trust an 18 year old with money. i could accept payments through pay pal... i could set up an ebay buy it now auction at the agreed price. i wouldn't expect someone to send me 1200 cash or check and expect them to trust me completely.

    by the way.. savvy my ass... you're a bunch of assholes who have too much time and over-analyze everything.

    but thanks anyway. i'll reword my post and see if it changes anything.

    lol.

    first of all, your price sucks. you can buy the notebook new for the same price or cheaper then what your selling yours for. second, upload pictures if your serious about selling anything (pictures of the notebook, not yourself).

    No we're not a bunch of a..holes. We actually do some thinking. Something you should have done before you sold your car to a Nigerian.

    Maybe another one will come along and buy your notebook.

    You state that you're not in a hurry. Why not deal with HP. It's a sure thing, while trying to sell it on the internet isn't as you found out.

    You put all the effort in it to write a half a page reply on here, why not put some in to get it returned to HP. No scam there.

    i didn't even see this second page of replies. i had never heard of the nigerian check fraud or whatever it's called. i ended up returning the check, i didn't use the money, and i still have my car. i didn't fall for it completely. something seemed strange so i researched it before i completed the sale.

    if i call you an asshole... that doesn't mean i'm a scamster. you're just seriously an asshole.

    does HP refund shipping... like when i ship it to them? i know it's going to cost like 25 to ship and insure. so that would suck if not.

    Just get out of here, you sicken me. Now how do you expect us to buy your laptop if you call us a-holes and that we can buy this same computer for a cheaper price hmmm? You are either very stupid, or insane, maybe both.

    how are you all not acting like real assholes. i'm just trying to sell my laptop. i'm not a scammer. i can see how someone might think that from my first post because it was not very detailed but i fixed and reposted so that i didn't seem like that... because i am not a scammer! gfjdka;fjs this is so frustrating. it almost makes me want to cry. good going hurting a girls feelings. i bet you all feel really proud.

    if i posted a picture of ME with the laptop would you all believe me then? i just want to sell my laptop. i lowered it to 1000 i think that's reasonable since i have the version with a bigger HD and more memory... and it is new and comes with a few programs. i asked how much it should be sold for and no one replied.
