assistance, just personal opinion by matt on 05-07-2008 at 11:56 PM
hey guys,
i'm in the middle of a problem right now. i hate to say this here, but I HATE to not have enough money for all the stuff you want to get 
i think it's a common problem. ¬¬
ok, i have a laptop that i don't use, but that could be useful for work, just work nothing else, would you pay.... what, 100 USD? 200....?
it is a compaq, 40 GBS, 250MBS RAM, CD RW, basically.....
and have another one that is better,
compaq, 110GBS, 1GBS RAM, CD RW, 125MBs video card, VISTA. how much for this one?

google up the models somewhere like mercadolibre or ebay to see how much they are selling for?

That said, you can use eBay to both determine the value of and potentially sell your unwanted laptops. To find out what they are worth, search completed auctions for similar models and features.
It's been several years since I've sold a laptop on eBay, but my experience always was that laptops sell very well and fetch high prices there. You can definitely use the eBay averages as a guideline, but if you end up selling it locally, expect to get 15-25% less. It is often worth it though, because you can avoid eBay's fees and the hassles of shipping, Paypal payments, etc.
