I'm replacing my old computer and will want to sell it soon. Where can I find information on how much to ask for it? It's an HP Pavilion w/17 inch monitor and is about 3 years old.

I've checked Ebay, but thought there might be better sources out there. TIA for any help. :cheers:

If it's pre-pentium 4 it's probably not much. I've always wiped out my old one and reloaded it for spare/other duty, or scavenged it.


Come to think of it that's why I have so much junk in the computer room. :ohwell:

I got rid of all those spare computers, printers, etc. when I moved and donated them to charity.

BTW Jazz, what pavilion model do you have?

The model number is XT 868. It has an AMD Athlon processor (not sure of the speed), 80 GB hard drive, 24X CD/RW and DVD player, 192 MB RAM, 56K modem, 3.5 inch floppy, Polk Audio speakers.

I bought it about 2.5/3 years ago from Sam's Club, so I think it designed especially for them.

have a dumpster near by?

honestly, used computers don't garner a lot of money. best to either toss it, or donate it

I figured it wasn't worth much. My nieces and nephews already have computers nicer than this one. :lmao: If I can't sell it, I'll give it to the schools and write it off on taxes.

jazz lady is just kickin' back sayin, "who set the starting price anyway"? :confused:

dorks

:whistle:

:kiss:

:bawl:

Thanks for the entertainment. :lol:

Honestly, I'm just looking to get a price to see if selling it is better than donating it. It's going to take me a couple of weeks to get it ready to go.

I'm cheap too... :lol:

Truthfully not much over $300 I would imagine.
Look at the new Dells on the market. $499. 1.3ghz or better.

Sorry not trying to be negative.

Donating it, you would get a total tax write off of what you paid for it originally.



:smile:

Well Jazz if your wanting to get rid of it let me know, But Truthfull you would prob get full price value for donating it and get a tax write off. Or do what my mother does. Donate to the one in lexington park. they give you a reciept with no price and make your own up.. Works for her

Jazz, according to the HP website (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?product=61770&softwareitem=pv219en&os=181&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=bph06535#N1001C), the CPU speed is at least 1.2GHz. If it's still in good condition and has all manuals, recovery CD's, etc., you may be able to get $400 but looking at the video and sound specs., $200 would be more realistic.
