    I got my Z-series from Sony refurbished about 6 months ago. Apparently its out of warranty, but everything works fine.

    Z1390 i7/8GB/256GB/HD/Mobile Broadband/2xchargers

    I want to upgrade to the new Z2. Just seeing if its worth selling my Z19 on ebay and buying the new CTO?

    Looking forward to your comments

    Taking in account that it's refurb and you have owned this for a while:
    if you have FHD 1080p, I'd say USD1.7-2K.
    if you have HD 900p instead, I'd say USD1.3-1.5K.

    That's my appraisal anyway. It's best you put this up on NBR Marketplace for a price check.

    U can probably start at 1300 assuming u have the 900p screen, but your actual selling price will probably be lower than that.

    I disagree. The 1080p screen adds $200 at the absolute most. It only cost $0 or $100 as an option, and there are quite a few people who prefer the 900p. Having bought and sold many, and depending on condition: $1,300-$1,600. i7 + 256GB is quite desirable. Even a bare-bones retail unit still gets $1,000 - $1,200.

    To be quite current do an eBay search on "completed listings."

    Also, these are not selling as fast as they did as little as three months ago. You will get your price is you're patient. If you list it on NBR Marketplace, you are allowed to refer to your selling it in the text of yur posts and in your sig line. Just leaving it sit in the For Sale thread on NBR will take it forever to sell. Finally, I don't believe eBay selling costs will be more than $50, but if you don't have a track record, it will be harder to sell there.

    $1500 would be what u can ask for in the forums. Probably 1700-1800 on ebay, but fees would kill wutever extra you make.
