$300 sounds about right.

The problem with pricing any used system is that it must fall below the price of a bottom end Dell/eMachines, etc.
Doesn't matter if the specs do not compare, the response will always be "I can get a new Dell for "x" dollars!"
A bit OT...
We took a Systemax tower/CRT in trade the other day (credited them with $35 off their new machine :naughty:).
It was the "AOL Optimised" edition.
After performing a system restore from the recovery partition (using the cleverly named "Tech-In-A-Box" app included in Program Files) I found that after the fresh install the PC was running 63 processes at startup.
All AOL crap of course.
Every toolbar, connection wizard, search engine and security app they make is pre-loaded into this POS.
The desktop was covered with AOL junk and even the screensaver was an AOL logo.
It was totally unusable.
Completely wiped out that install (including the insulting 10GB restore partition they allocated to themselves) and reloaded using a plain vanilla OEM Home. It took the PID and activated with no problem.
Not only runs much better (doh!) but sold two hours later for $275.
Gotta love capitalism.
clocker that's just like I've said for ages. Over way over 50% of people who are not 1st time computer buyers. Are buying a new computer of the same type (desktop to desktop or laptop to laptop) not because of hardware failure or a need/want to upgrade. They are doing so because their old computer is so fd up by any combination of crapware, spyware, virii or lack of maintenance etc. :sick:
