Have you tried selling it 2nd hand to a local computer store in your area? They might be willing to pay $800 or so for it.

I see PC's in there for crazy prices, I no they run a markup thats probably quite big, but still - you've got nothing to lose (unless they find out its stolen and/or you've got pirated software all on it :D)

IMHO, forget Cash Converters. Every time I've offered to sell stuff, they asked me what I expected. They halved it (on two separate occasions, on different items), and said that's what they would sell it for - right from the start, they want 200% markup... Others may have different stories, but don't bother selling to CC...

179221 2003-10-01 02:53:00 i went in 2 cash converters with a detailed peice of paper
and they said they would give $200 for it...which means they would prolly sell at $600 or so...

I'm gonna ask u guys...is there ne one here who would take it for anything around $300....

I'm asking for him as hes going on sunday, and kind of needs the cash by friday...i know its pushing it...hence why hes not going on trademe... and that would give me(csinclair)...the weekend to sort out the computer and reformat it and put his stuff onto cd... as i'm using his computer now..sorting the crap out he has...

But if nothing happens then we'll decide what happens then...

179223 2003-10-01 03:57:00 Don't go to cash converters. A laptop with a street used value of $1600, I was given $800. It was a laptop, with docking station, dvd, cd, optional internal ethernet upgrade, and 1yr intl warranty left on it. Initially bought for $6k abouts with all the upgrades, all sofwares were included too.

If ya not interesed, they would show u cheap brochures from harvey or what not and justify their reasonable price they gave u. Saying person does not care what it is, they want speed specs and fullstop blah blah.

179225 2003-10-01 05:38:00 also, I could transfer money tonight - you get it tomorow/friday (interent banking seems to get slower and slower...) and you could still do all your stuff on it before you send it out - in other words - i'd be in no hurry to get it - next week etc

cheers
