I have the NP5165, reason for selling is that I bought this originally to be something I could take to class without it being too heavy, but can also game on. But, I got a 11.6" laptop recently and I just use that for class, so now I want to get a desktop. These are the specs
15.6" screen, 1920 x 1080
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Intel i7 - 2630QM @ 2.00 GHz
Nvidia GeForce GT 555M (I believe 2 gb)
8 gigs of memory
750gb HDD @ 5400 RPM

nbr marketplace, its specifically for selling
http://forum.notebookreview.com/nbr-marketplace/
there is also a sub forum you can post your specs and people will tell you what its worth so you know where to start with it. -
Yeah I saw that, but the requirements are to be a member for 3 months and make 100+ posts, and by that time the price on the laptop will have dropped even further whatever it may be.

And naturally, eBay or Craigslist. You can also try the PennySaver (or whatever other local ad posting service you have in your area). PennySaver USA has a .com site as well, so you don't necessarily need to put it in print.

Where did you get the computer from? Some sites have forums you can list a for sale there.

Considering you can get the NP6165 which is the direct replacement for about $850 you could probably ask $600-650 for your current one.

Oh wow, I was expecting lower, thanks for the suggestion.

Depends on the condition, though. Hutsady said 600-650$ and it goes lower from there on if you have scratches, wear and tear, etc.
Wall of text incoming.
I sold my P150HM (config in sig) for ~ 1,020$.
I bought it for 1,730$ (that includes ALL upgrades, the shipping and bank wire transaction fees).
It was in PERFECT condition, all bezel stickers and speaker grill sticker were never removed. No scratches (really none), keyboard was never used and covered to avoid dust buildup.
Made a thread in some local forums for second hand stuff and after a month and a half, I sold it.
People in my country have never heard about Clevo, so they tend to be VERY mistrustful, buying old Dell's and Acers instead.
So, all-in-all, 710$ lost in 14 months of heavy usage, gaming and gathering experience.
I'd say it was worth it!!!
I learned soooo much from that laptop (about upgrading, cleaning, re-pasting thermal compound, proper placement for maximum airflow, hardware monitoring, tweaks...and much more).
The GPU was amazing....AMD 6990m is one of the best laptop cards in world history (ZERO problems, loads of power, cooler than Nvidia gtx485 and gtx580)
Not to forget the bad things:
-FullHD 1080p resolution on a 15.6" screen is not eye-friendly when it comes to working with Photoshop and playing RTS games
-Lugging a 180W car battery charger (that goes for a laptop power supply) is no fun
-It was amazing how much dust was being sucked trough all the holes from the bottom laptop cover
-the glossy bezel, where I left all stickers on (in order not to scratch it) is something I want to avoid in the future
-having a laptop subwoofer didnt impress me at all, aside from the fact that dust was going trough THAT hole too
-rubberized finish was a dust-magnet, need to avoid that as well in the future
-sound card output was not nearly enough to power my headphones, so I wanna avoid the ALC892 DAC in the future (my new W370ET beats this with a stereo ALC262 DAC and performs sooooo much better!)
It was a great experience to have owned one of the world's top-performing notebooks at the time, easily stomping most desktop computers and notebooks out there.
And now Im gathering experience from my new Clevo (see sig), a 120W brick + a same-sized Universal 150W adapter (they really are the same size, no kidding!).
Between the great 17.3" screen, the comfortable HP backpack and the soft gel mousepad, I feel like I have "upgraded" majorly compared to my last laptop experience.
For the future, I see myself with Clevos with a thinner form factor and up to 150W power supplies. -
I think $600-$650 is a bit high considering the tech. More like $500 if it's in good condition.
On to what b0b1man had to say, I agree about the power brick. But it's not really that big of a deal IMHO. I wanted a 17" laptop, but the 680m version came with the huge 220W. Now that's massive. 1920x1080 is almost a necessity if you do any amount of multitasking. Using anything less makes it difficult to manage. But that's all personal preference.
Good luck with your sale. Hope it works out for you. -
I love 1080p also, just not on a 15.6" scale
Ive done some miracles "microing" my army in StarCraft 2 but it strains the eyes very much.
The 17.3" would be my minimum size for this resolution -
