I'd say much less than $2500.00

If someone really wants it, I think $2000.00 is a better estimate IMO. The one thing you have going is that cyborg green is no longer offered.

Five hundred dollars would be reasonable. Used computers don't really hold their value.
The graphics of the Area 51M are at the end of their upgrade.
No way to transfer warranty.

what was your method of selling it? did you include periphals? and I might already have a buyer so what would you say around 2300?

forgot to mention my laptop also comes with an extra battery and im thinking i could sell it for 2500 because i configured it all in the reconditioned systems and it came out about 2600-2700 and the buyer is my dad so he could also hold on to the warranty since some of it is in his name.

I think that's a good decision. Was planning on maxing out the RAM this christmas and eventually upgrading to the 9700 later. Then I'd use it for a good 4 years before I upgrade.
