Dokko Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Probably worth about £50-80. Stick it in a shop window for £150-80. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I would say around £80-£90 if anyone wants it i've cleaned it out and optimised it, working well with loads of software installed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I would say around £80-£90 if anyone wants it i've cleaned it out and optimised it, working well with loads of software installed Get it in a shop window then mate, best place for it. List it at £120 - Full working Desktop PC, Everything you need for: Internet browsing, Word processing, Movie and Music download and playback £120 ono I wouldn't even both listing the components, people buying at that level arn't arsed what's in it, just a reasonable price and it in good condition. People who know about PC's are going to look at the spec and not bother, those who want something for their kids, or to get going will see it as a bargain regardless what's inside it.

One other tip: Having nothing loading up at the start you don't need, keep it as simple as possible to show that it loads up fast, last thing you want is it truggling along with this and that popping up.

davy_fulla Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Just a thought but what's the chances of setting up or 'For sale' section of the forum? I think I read ages ago that posts could not be used for selling things. I'm just seriously pissed off with how much Paypal and ebay charge these days and can never be arsed with sticking an ad up on Morrison's noticeboard. Like I say, just a thought.

SEMTEX Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I think it'd play it, struggle with the 3d engine though. Probably advisable to go with a smaller amount of leagues etc too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
