Thanks.

The one on ebay has shared Intel video, two times less harddrive, worse processor, less memory. How could you possibly compare the two?
As for a silly $350-450, that is just (I'm greedy ). The screen alone is $200, video ~$200, then processor is $150, motherboard is ~$140. So really, judging from your price it is a better deal for me to sell video/screen/processor/etc and get nearly twice as much money than actually selling the laptop in one piece...
I've looked myself at ebay and kijiji.ca around Canada and I could estimate my laptop to be around 700-750USD.
Also, one damaged USB port isn't such a big deal anyway since there are 5 more left. Unless you usually plug into USB everything that moves (or doesn't) .
Cosmetics? Well I heard some use pheromones to attract females/males, but would you use laptop for that? Well no, unless she/he is a laptop geek, but then again, they could just as well feel drawn to a beat-up laptop (it depends on the number of beers though) . And to be honest the scratches are not that bothersome anyway (see pic and judge for yourself).

FYI: You've still basically guessed how much I paid for it, lol. I paid $240 USD, when it had a cracked screen (ordered new one, + $200) and was frequently shutting down due to overheating issues (have been solved).

Case closed.
