    Don't expect too much. Laptops are more fragile than desktop computers, the battery usually needs replacing after a few years at almost £100 - so prices are low.

    Ebay is a possible place - you can check what others have been paid - or let us have your model details and we'll check for you.

    hi thanks dont expect too much for it but every little helps at min just seems a shame it sat there knowing my look charger will be worth more than laptop lol.
  • yeah, the laptops if you sell on the next day after your purchase it will go for only 60% of the original cost. So its better to use for your own purpose or give it to your family members.
  • Dell Latitude C will probably fetch around £80 or so on Ebay.

    Rubbish. I still get 50% or above of the new price for 2+ year old stuff and its flying out the door.
  • 2+ years :o the technology will become too old.
