487723 2006-09-27 20:56:00 What the...

First of all I would say a few hundred if that, how old is it?

What speed is the CPU?

.1Gb is 100Mb, you mean 1Gb

I have never heard of MC Graffi Anti Virus, I think you mean McAfee

And CD Writable ROM? no, it is either Writable (CD R/RW) or not (ROM)

I would say you will be very lucky if it is worth $500 depending on the CPU

Not even $500.
CRTs aren't worth anything nowdays.
No decent graphics card.

And what brand motherboard? What brand Hard drive? Etc.....Being Compaq not very good ones most likely..

487726 2006-09-28 06:19:00 Look on TradeMe for similar PCs, to see what they sold for.
Keep in mind that new PCs are as low as $600 to $700, e.g. Warehouse Stationary.

487728 2006-09-28 08:48:00 Yeah... I thought about it during the day and I was VERY far off, I wouldn't even pay $200 for it... actually $150 would be generous... (for me). The_End_Of_Reality (334)

Perhaps they are wanting $US

487731 2006-09-28 19:12:00 godfather is right, I am in the US. Sorry I didn't clarify before and the information was from the dell assistant, who's english was so broken, I had a hard time understanding anything he was telling me. I imagine you can tell from my post, I am not very familiar with computer terminology. Therefore, I cannot answer questions like what kind of motherboard..etc.

Thank you all for your replies!
