cheers mate any more?

You could build it new for about £480. As such I reckon more like £300 - £350 (if that around here - things usually go better split)

it is pretty new parts less than a few months old

Maybe a bit more then - £375, £400 if you're lucky. Even if it is nearly new (even the 60G HDD? And why the mixed RAM if it's new? And considering recent prices why a combo drive and not a DVD RW? All questions I'd be asking if I was buying it and it was advertised as nearly new) it's still 2nd hand - so you're never going to get back what it cost.

the story is I swapped the above for a laptop that arrived in a poor condition so the lad asked me to price up the shuttle so he could make me a cash offer for it hence me hoping for top dollar

[malfunction]

Ah

Well in that case (assuming you aren't getting a working laptop or the shuttle back) then I'd say you've got a good case for wanting enough cash to replace the shuttle / laptop. The bit to argue about of course is whether or not you should have enough cash to get a new one or a 2nd hand one. Find out how much the lappy would be new as well as pricing up the shuttle. The £480 I quoted above was including a 80GB HDD not a 60GB and a 2800+ not 2500+ because ebuyer didn't have any stock of 2500s and at the price an 80GB HDD makes more sense as 80GB = an entry level drive these days... I can remember when it was nowt but fields and HDDs were measured in Megabytes... We didn't even know what a gigabyte was in my day... blah blah blah...
