How much would i get for my Desktop?

[Inscribe]

I got a new laptop at the weekend so im thinking about selling my Desktop pc,
Dont really know what it will be worth since its 2nd hand.

If anyone can give me a prize range that will help.

The computer is a Acer Aspire L3600, and a 19" Monitor.
Only thing is the disk drive is broke so that will lower it abit.

Specs are: http://www.dealtime.co.uk/xPF-Acer-ACER-ASPIRE-L3600-ASPIRE-L3600

Thanks for anyone who can give me an estimate on my much i can sell it for.

For those who can't be bothered to click the link:

1GB RAM
2Ghz Core 2 Duo
Vista Home Premium
250GB HDD
DVD R/W

Those specs with Vista... Idk £100 if you're pushing it? I wouldn't pay more for it, especially with the broke disk drive. Maybe an extra £70 for the monitor.

if I were buying i'd give you £50

You never pay a decent price for anything (In terms of the seller) lol :P

I would give under 100 as the main selling point is ruined.

If you bought it to UPGRADE it then it says max supported ram is just 2GB

That ruins the price imo.

You're clearly not the target market! It's aimed at people who just want a machine for web surfing and word processing and maybe to use it as a media centre machine in a living room. It certainly isn't designed to be upgraded and fiddled about with by enthusiasts!

I only bought it for basic use, don't suppose anyone on here would be interested in buying it ;)

I might be intrested but I wouldnt be willing to offer that much as I'll have to upgrade the ram :/

How are you looking for including the monitor?

And what is wrong with the disc drive?

I was thinking about £200 but it seems like its worse less than that, so if you want to give me an offer.

Also with the disk drive, In device management the disk seems to be fine and is updated, in my computer it shows the disk drive icon. But when you put a cd in nothing happens.

You are right about 200 pounds being far overpriced. The spec above, for the same pc (just differnt spec) is just 321 pounds NEW. Your one is sadly less than that in most cases.

anyone want to give me £100 for it

[Meree.]

The most i'd pay is 70-90£ because part of it is broken. Which is gunna make it harder too sell.

[Inscribe]

True but it could be a easy fix..

[Meree.]

Hmm, well I dunno. Being its second hand aswell.

Cost me £400 new at pc world :$

Clearly you bought it years ago :S

You have to understand that the value of computer/computer components devalue at a very sharp rate.

[redtom]

£80 would probably be my top offer as I've just spent loads in the past month and I don't really need it that much at the minute.

[Inscribe]

If you did buy it for £80 how would you get the pc?
It is a pretty good pc for just website browsing and online games.

lol, you're selling something and you haven't even thought about how you will ship it. shoulda said its pickup only or something.

[Inscribe]

Well i never planed on selling it on here, but since ive got an offer..

[Inscribe]

Can a mod close this thread?

Finally sold it for £110

[Mentor]

70-90 would probabaly be the right for just the base unit, with the screen maybe 120 or so.

May get lucky and find someone who'll pay more tho

EDIT: noticed this has already been done - disregard.
