You can purchase a decent machine for around $600 but if you want to play games or watch video it will be more like $1200 for something with a good video card.

No idea, but if you list the specs, I can give you a ballpark figure (I'm sure others can to).  A quick search really didn't turn up anything useful.\n\nWell, considering the condition it is in (if we are talking about hardware issues) though reinstalling Windows may fix some of those problems, I'm guessing you'll get $175 to $325 for it.  The reason is that newer (and faster) laptops can be had for around $450.  And that $325 figure is pretty far out there, you more than likely end up with something around $250 for it.

I would bet that the computers are way overpriced, and you'd end up spending upwards of $2,000 to get a computer worth $300-400.

a decent PC with the most basic components can be found as low as $400USD but according to your specifications I'd be prepared to spend at least $1300USD if you're lucky to find a price. Dell allows for a lot of custamization they have a very reasonable payment plan ($20-$40USD a month) and have decent technical support allow for later upgrades that are relatively easy to do yourself (I installed a CD-RW drive myself with very little hassle and spent under $30)\n\nPS: what country you from?

It might be worth something to someone just for the nostalgia. Just the computer, without any accessories? I wouldn't expect to get more than $40 for it. Ebay is your best bet.

If you r not a pro user and need the computer for basic stuff like email, web, music, films etc. you can buy one for as little as $300-400 depending on what deal u land. The specs you can expect will be something like this: Celeron-M or Core Solo cpu 1.4-1.66Ghz, 256-512mb ram, CD-RW/DVD drive, 40-60gb HDD, wi-fi wireless. If you want to go even cheaper, get one with an AMD cpu (like Sempron) instead of those intel chips. Check the weekly ads for big stores. This week both Office Depot and Walmart had sub $400 notebooks.

Very Good!! Asus socket 939 Mobo; AMD Dual core 4400+ processor; Zalman CPU Fan; 2GB Kingston ValueRAM; EVGA 256MB or 512MB AGP or PCI Card; Two-74GB Western Digital Raptor (10,000 RPM) SATA Hard Drives; a 600 Watt Power Source with fan controls; one 250GB Western Digital SATAII Hard Drive (with the 16MB Cashe) for backups; one 16x Plextor DVD-RW; one Lite-On DVD/CD Combo Drive; one Floppy Drive with Card Reader; Plenty of case fans to keep your cool. 19" monitor, keyboard, optical mouse, 5:1 amplifyed speakers. Joysticks and other interfaces. That'll probably shoot down that $2500 real fast! Try buying at Newegg.com or at Tiger Direct. That might save you some $$!

Slightly used computers for free, I don't think that is possible.  If you find out, tell me, I'd like to pick me up a couple.  I would promise to use the computer for educational use also.   I would network the computers and practice keeping them up and running.\n\nFlea Markets have 286, 386, 486 computers for like $20, but the way they look, I'm not so sure I would give $20.  A computer that old, can't be of any use.

if you buy a dirt cheap laptop, you will get what you pay for, save a little money, you can find used and refurbs cheap, I sell them all the time in my shop that I take as trade ins and refurbish, starting at 200.00. You can get them and not be ripped off

See if your town has a 'Thrifty Nickel' kind of free newspaper.  They usually have listings for used computers and accessories.  I bought an older IBM computer with Win98 and a decent monitor for $90 from a man who bought a bunch of computers from a local college.  If you can live without XP, you might do better.  You can still access the Internet and do word processing on older operating systems.\n\nIf you want to buy new, try a place like Office Depot for EMachines desktop PCs.  They've been offering some really good rebates lately.  When we get our rebates back, our new computer with XP, monitor and Canon printer will only cost $300.

Not bad, but here's what I'd look for:\n\n- Processor: Intel Centrino or AMD Turion 64. Sempron or Celeron are just too limited.\n\n- RAM 512MB is OK, but I'd go at least 1GB if possible.\n\n- I'd also consider some of the better-known brands like HP or Dell or Lenovo (IBM) Also, if you'd consider refurbished models, ecost.com has some good deals...

It all depends on the model of your pc and also the age. If it is old the chances of getting a good price are slim, even if it is in good condition. Advertise it on your local radio station or why not try eBay.
