Advice on selling a laptop

About two and a half years ago, I bought a Dell XPS Gen 2 laptop. It ran like a champ until it developed a video problem that neither I nor the nitwits at Dell could straighten out. I've since replaced it with a new laptop, but I hate seeing the old girl just sit there on my shelf going unused. Do you guys think I would be able to sell it? The problem could be solved, I'm sure, by someone more technically minded than I am (my A+ cert is way past its expiration date), and I have a feeling it's with the video card itself, so if Dell replaces those, I'm sure that would fix it.

Anyway, here are the stats on it. Let me know what you think I should do.

Dell XPS Gen 2 laptop (17" widescreen high resolution LCD)
2Ghz Pentium M
2GB RAM
100GB HDD
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 Ultra 256MiB
Integrated wireless networking
8X DVD+/-RW
Windows XP SP2

Honestly, fleabea might be your best shot. Just describe the notebook in the auction like you did here and clearly and explicitly state it as being sold "as is" and start the bids at a how amount.

I am sure you will likely get atleast $300-400, not much compared to the new price for sure but a sight better than a broken notebook sitting unused in your house taking up space.
