    Considering selling my one-year-old Sager NP8130, how much should I expect?

    I bought this computer at the beginning ofSeptember of 2011 with the intention of gaming and general computer use. I decided on the laptop because I was in the midst of moving from place to place. Now, I'm starting to feel the limitations of the hardware and am interested in selling the laptop for money to fund a new desktop build.

    Here are the specs:

    Sager NP8130 (AKA Malibal P151HM1)
    Display: 15.6" 1920 x 1080 FHD LED AUO V.7 95% NTSC Glossy Display (One of the best displays in its class)
    Processor: Intel® CoreT i7-2630QM, 6MB L3 Cache 2.0-2.9GHz
    Memory: (8GB) 8192MB, PC3-10660/1333MHz DDR3
    Graphics Card: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 560M 1.5GB GDDR5
    Hard Drive: 500GB 7200rpm 2.5" SATA 300
    Wireless: Bigfoot Networks KillerT Wireless-N (upgraded wireless card)

    It's in excellent condition. I paid $1094 before tax.

    What price would be reasonable for this laptop? What's the best (most profitable) way to sell a laptop like this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Kinda like a used car. After a year or so expect half of what you paid. Try listing it on Craiglist or eBay. Remember, you are trying to sell a high end computer that limits your number of buyers.

    Most people go to Walmart or Best Buy and get a laptop for 350.00 US dollars. Maybe someone here may want yours as this forum attracts the high end buyer.
