Laptop for sale

I bought this laptop last december and the motherboard was recently replaced (because HP though there was a problem with it even though nothing was so theres a new mobo). Its still under manufacturer warranty (until december 8, 2009) and I also bought the extended Bestbuy PSP which lasts till Dec 8, 2010.

I want to sell this as I would prefer upgrading to something more along the lines of what I need. the computer is in 9/10 condition and asking price is $1,100 OBO(incl the best buy service plan of 2+ years left). I bought it for 1400

2 things to keep in mind:
1) i said "OBO" which means "or best offer"
2) there are still 2+ years on whats basically extended warranty which means that should anything happen, it will be fixed for free

did you check if the warranty is transferable? i.e. you selling to someone else

How does that change the fact that you can buy a brand-spanking-new laptop for less money that will have warranty as well?

Yeah, $1100 is a little high.

well with these specs, u can get it for about $850

now lets see..tax on $850= 110 roughly?

so 850+100= cost without the 2 year extended warranty = 950

add another 150 and u have unlimited warranty that is even eligible for complete unit replacement "should" it be taken in 3 times for $75 each remaining year (not to forget theres still 4 months left for manufacturer warranty still as well)


whatever if u guys dont want it, dont buy it...i dont remember forcing anyone to do so

Okay now that everybody is already ragging on Liam, that laptop is worth about $500 at most. Come on.


Posted by SgtFoo on Sep-12-2008 20:33:

moral of the story = don't try to sell used goods on TA, cuz we're all cheap & poor....


unless of course you're trying to sell viginity... which is all the craze these dayz

i saw a C2Duo Dell laptop with similar specs go for as low as $600 recently.

Good on ya to try and totally rip off your peer group. Nothing like a good ole ripoff to build a solid friend base.

$500 for a used laptop like this would still be pushing it. The battery has a finite number of charges before becoming worthless and they cost hundreds to replace. So knowing that you'd have to to be on some form of hallucinogen to actually consider this.

Now, comparing the specs, your laptop seems to be outdated, overpriced, REFURBISHED (fan replaced, and most important NOT NEW ( aka already used) .. so that being said, anyone paying more than 350$ at most for that laptop is out of their mind. GOOD LUCK


P.S. i bought a toshiba laptop from future shop last week with all of the above specs except 4GB DDR2 RAM for $650 on a sale which expired last week :-) Anyone interested in paying 1100 OBO for it please feel free to msg me as i will be returning this unique piece of art next week anyway to get the new Macbooks <3
