| 350004 | 2005-04-29 03:52:00 | Is this a new or second hand PC? If it's new you'll pay about $1500. |

I must patronise the wrong shops. Tell me, what can I expect to sell a Pavillion for? Four months old been sitting on the floor for the past three months. P4 2.8 . 512 megs. All the usual "free" HP software |

Four months old been sitting on the floor for the past three months. P4 2.8 . 512 megs. All the usual "free" HP software Its hard to say, But I would put it somewhere between what the bargin hunters on trademe thought it was worth and what you wanted for it, Computers are just a collection of hardware so the brand becomes irrilvent as far as price structure is concerned once you leave Harvey Normans. I don't handle newish second hand computers due to the fact that they deprciate so fast,and to sell them at a realistic price puts them too close to the cost of a new system. When You take into account a brand new motherboard can be had for $80 to $120 yours suddenly becomes worth $40, take into account its probally a HP modified board so it becomes worth $20...... |

| 350013 | 2005-04-29 06:34:00 | No disrespect to the local pc builders on the forum, but warranties nobody has mentioned it, who's going to take it over heaven forbid one of you guy's suck the kumera? We all remember the pc company. This what you are paying for when you buy a named brand computer, and as for i can fix most problems myself, well maybe if you are reading this but not average joe bloggs. | plod (107) | ||
