Soooo, how much do you think I couls sell this puppy for?

With the extra warranty that you have, I would say 1200-1500USD. Hopefully you'll hit the high end.

cheers ...

Thank GHN for the help! I was hoping that I could get $1700 for it so that I can pay it off otherwise I'd have to just keep it. Well, maybe I'll just put it up and see what it gets!

If you put it up I bet $1200 tops. Santa Rosa is two generations removed. 8700 SLI is beat by many single GPU's. Notebook value drops like a brick. On components alone not even $1000 but a little extra because AlienWare and they have their hardcore fans.

What I have found is that most folks on NBF want stuff for waaaaaaaaay below what it is worth on the open market, imho.

^^ Buyers have the right to expect that. And sellers have the right to ignore them

cheers ...

There's always SOMEONE out there, that is looking for an exact configuration though. I once sold a two year old Alienware notebook for $1000

OK what do you think the value is? Even with cars there are three values, wholesale, private party and retail. OP wanted $1700 I can get new M17x on newer platform 2.8Ghz CPU, Faster RAM single GPU better than 8700m GT SLI and larger/faster HDD. wireless "n". So OP uses for a year or two and gets 85% of current price of improved system that is new. Really throw out a number.

And yes I believe if you waited for the right buyer $1200 could be exceeded. I was throwing out what I thought was a reasonable price to generate a reasonable interest that would facilitate selling it in a timely manner before it loses even more value. I might not be 100% correct but I am not far off. $1700 while possible relies on the borderline mentally challenged or complete ignorance of the buyer. That can happen but risky finding that sucker who was born that minute.

qhn and I do not agree 100% give a number just for fun.

It would be very boring, otherwise

Always agreeing or not hearing his number? Right now I really want to hear his number.

I agree with powerpack and put it around $1K. Even at that it won't be an easy sell because the 8700 will discourage a bunch of people. For comparison a few months ago I sold a M1730 with M9800GT SLI for $1500. It was a lower end proc but it's really the GPU that gamers are looking for.

For the $1700 price tag people can buy a brand new systems with better specs at that price.
