201644 2003-12-19 05:45:00 Have a look at trademe (http://www.trademe.co.nz/) to get an idea of what people are willing to pay.

You will probably get something in the $100 - $200 (MAX) range.

201645 2003-12-19 05:59:00 You will probably get a price range of $50-100 or maybe a few more dollars gamesman (5009)
201646 2003-12-19 06:38:00 It's up to you but it is not worth much. Give it to the Sally Army or local community group/club. They will be grateful and you'll have done a kindness.

Merry Christmas

201647 2003-12-19 20:03:00 Sell it if you want to (might get $100 tops), but I agree with Winston - give it to someone who'll appreciate it (many schools etc. would be happy with it).

201648 2003-12-19 20:11:00 I agree with winston and Mike. What you can get for an old comp with low specs is hardly worth the effort and cost of advertising, far better for you to get the good feelings of passing it on to some worthwhile and appreciative group.

I have an old comp that makes its way around friends and acquaintances for them to get used to how they work before they buy one themselves.

Cheers :D

201649 2003-12-19 20:11:00 As long as it is in good condition, then people may be willing to pay up to $100 for it.

Also, does it come with a Monitor (if so, what size), keyboard/mouse/speakers etc.? These are important factors to determine price.

201650 2003-12-19 22:27:00 you might get more money for it if you sold all the components seperately superOman (745)
201651 2003-12-19 23:39:00 the pc will include a set of speakers and some educational software (3) it also has alot of software loaded on it like winamp, ifran view and others. no mouse, keyboard, or monitor as i need this for my new pc.
thanks for the help

201652 2003-12-20 00:02:00 without the monitor you would be lucky to get $50. most would only be after it for parts. software dosn't mean much unless it has the orginal cds and keys. tweak'e (174)
