I originally bought this computer at $900 in August of '07 and only upgraded the ram from 3gb to 8, vista home premium to ultimate and a 500GB hard drive to 1TB. I assumed with all the upgrades I could get around $1000 on ebay, $800 at the minimum but no bids after 7 days with 2 people watching it. It's on now for $450 with a reserve price set and have 13 watchers only assuming the price would go up, but as usual people are waiting to the last minute.





Am I picking a bad time to sell? Should I wait until summer when people have a bit more money? Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!





p.s. sorry about all of these questionsHow much can I sell my computer for?
In answer to your question, all I can say is depreciation and a lack of warranty will greatly reduce the price from what you paid. Also you should do a search on ebay looking at the custom built gaming systems that are out there that are competing with you. I know yours is designed as a multimedia not gaming rig, but just look at what you can get. I think your just expecting way too much for your used HP

sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear.How much can I sell my computer for?
Even with the upgrades your computer's price is not going to go up. The fact that it is a media center and has Vista will not be much of a selling point to most. You could get a custom build computer with the same specs new for maybe 500-600. so even 450 for a used one might be a bit high, but that would be closer than 1000.
Sadly, the most ';valuable'; item you listed is the HDD.





I would say if you got $200, you would be most fortunate.
