I have a 2.5 year old Dell INSPIRON 17" 9300 Laptop that I currently use as a back up (it was my main trading computer). Specs= Pentium M 1.86 GHZ 1GB RAM Windows XP pro Office software plus 2 Dell 19" monitors Everything is in excellent working condition and looks brand new. I know it doesn't matter now but I paid $3500 for everything new! Worth $1000 to anyone ???
Look on ebay what they are going for! http://search.ebay.com/dell-inspiron-9300-laptop_W0QQfkrZ1QQfnuZ1QQfsooZ2QQfsopZ32 Trader
Ya thats about right $650 on ebay but remember I'm including XP pro, Office (both licensed) and 2 perfect 19" monitors. Plus I've kept the machine running like a top and clean of crap (perfect for trading) So I don't think I'm too far off base.
The monitors are worth $50 at best If you would have scrolled down on Ebay you would have seen others cheaper The one you saw first has double the memory. Computers are like cars as soon as you use them the value drops fast! Good Luck
That's exaggerating some... I've sold several 19" monitors on CraigsList for $100-$125. And if you figure that new 17" Dell notebooks are going for about $1000... And MS Office is worth something (which version and are the install disks included?)... $1,000 (especially if Joab pays shipping) is in the ballpark... Does it have Brite Screen?
Sure I will include shipping for $1000 No brite screen (I hate them they act like a mirror) mate finish. Last chance in here before I ebay it, any takers ??? Going Once !
