I want to sell my laptop to buy desktop and I wanted to know what to ask for...
Sony Vaio VGN-SZ series
Core2duo T5600 1.83ghz
2GB ram
120GB HDD
Nvidia Go 7400(can switch on to Intel onboard video card for longer battery life)
Vista 32bit Business edition
+ one extra batter pack(paid $200+)
price when I bought it(winter 07) was over $2000
basicallly same as this one with little bit of difference in specs http://vaio-online.sony.com/prod_inf...n_c/index.html |

Somewhere around $500 sounds about right.

I would start at $800 at the minimum. The resale market of used laptops is surprisingly strong...

I sold a similar one earlier this year. Better Processor.
People low ball like no tomorrow so leave yourself some margin space. Perhaps 800-1000?
I would've kept it if it wasn't for the gay keyboard layout =[
Looks sleek and clean.

um.... the SZ series is quite old, centrino 5600 isnt bad 2GB ram can be upgraded same with the harddrive. Since it's a business laptop (sorta) you can prob get 500+

| compaq 500$ LG 1000$ Sony 1000$
Wouldnt go as far as 1000$. The link above for Sony one is way better everything and is 1000$ new.
Even the 500$ Compaq has all better specs,
But since it has the SONY name,
right now id say 500-800MAX about right for your laptop.
laptop costs have really come down in the last 2 years.

Start at 850 and play with it until you reach about 700-750.

laptop costs have really come down in the last 2 years. | It can be sold higher since you can switch from On board to video card. That saves a lot of power. This is the only laptop that offers this. I would have sold mine but my Motherboard is apparently cracked so no point.

^^even though it still has that function, its 2 years old. battery life has probably decreased dramatically.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |
