...... do you still think its worth only a few hundred dollars?

yes, quite frankly, i do.

at best, all that computer si good for is surfing the net, listening to music, or writing e-mail.

Yeah, it's not worth much. Computers, much like cars, depreciate quickly after initial purchase, and the fact that it's used is a deterring factor. Personally, I'd always rather pay a little more and get a brand new system from the manufacturer or a reliable retailer.

You would be lucky to sell it for $250.

You would never sell it on ebay without a picture. People like to see what they are buying.

You can get over $400 on ebay easily. If you really need to sell it.

yes i still do, and always will think it worth NO MORE than 200$. just because you upgraded, doesnt mean its gonna show in resale.

the computer is still what it is, and thats POOH (:

that computer is worth more than a measly 250. Ebay probably get you near 500.00 for it. Everyone else who's lowballing a question is IMO lol

And yeah, ram does add value to a laptop...just like upgrading a processor or HDD. The damn thing is still relatively new by today's standards. Look on Ebay or any other auction site and you'll see pIII systems going for 4-5 bills.

This of course will only work with PICS!!! SO if that's the argument then they're right...get a camera dude!

definitelly worth more than 250 but i doubt you could get for 500 used.
i coudn't even crack over 700 sellin my 8600 that has a better processor,videocard,hd,modular drive,etc. that is why i decide to keep it. i think you might as well keep it rather sell it for a measly couple hudndred

I agree selling it is the better option. Though selling it is all in your pitch. I've seen crap sell at high prices.

That's been my experience. Which is to say, the full value of the upgrades you make doesn't really come through in resale. I've sold machines that had 2GB in them, a $250 value, and the final price didn't really reflect that. I'm sure it went up a little bit, but not enough. I find I do better tearing out the upgrade and selling the machine stock, then finding another seller to buy the upgrade separately, for another machine.

Did that make sense at all?

I've seen that, too. When I have 2 gig, I usually take out one and sell it seperately. I get more total that way. For such a notebook, he should remove the 1gb chip and sell it separately.

Definitely. The value in that stick won't come through in the resale. And to be honest, I think advertising/describing a machine as a stock model appeals to another customer base.

People who are willing to make pricey upgrades generally want to pick and choose the parts themselves, in my experience. So if it were me, I'd split out the upgrades and sell them separate. More money to be made there.
