Hi all,
I have an old PC that I'd like to sell to my parents as an office machine, but I need some guidance on what to ask for it.
Athlon 3200XP
1.5GB RAM
120GB HDD - OS drive
320GB HDD - a fairly modern Seagate for docs
Radeon 1600xt AGP 256mb GFX
CD RW/DVD R
Nice and shiny 550W or thereabouts PSU
Official copy of XP
I don't think it's worth very much at all but atm I have literally 0 idea.
Cheers all!
Adam
Sell it to your parents????????? :surprised: Surely after all the years of TLC they have nurtured you with - the least you can do is donate it to them! This will make you very popular :) and remind them yet again what a wonderful son you are!
When/if it goes wrong, you can enhance your status even more by going round and mending it for them!
Alan.
Lol! Yeah you have a point and to be fair they are insisting that they buy it. As to returning home to fix it - it's about a 600pound round trip from Beijing to Nottingham...
I'm thinking about 100pounds?
Sorry I sort of assumed they might be just down the road! :lol:
Can't imagine what the postage is going to be then :)
I guess there will be no aftersales support then??? :)
Yeah £100 to satisfy their desire to "pay" has gotta be about right, go for it.
Alan.
I would have said £60 myself.
Thy are family after all.
For parents -a 'fiver' would be more like it . :surprised:
Lol - aftersales is provided, free of charge, via skype, as it has been for many, many weekends now :P Mum - have you plugged it in? Yes? And you've turned it on? Ah - there we go :P
P&P isn't going to be a problem - I left it at home during this year out. They have to move it approx 20feet from my room to their study :P
Also - I can't really afford to give it away - it's my computer and when I get back home I'll need to buy a new one - this way at the very least I get 100quid to put towards the machine I'll replace it with - should buy me the case and mobo :P
Probably around £60-£80
