Hi,
Originally posted this on the ebay section, but was advised to ask here.
I bought a cheap laptop off ebay a couple of weeks ago, an acer aspire one ZG8. It's fully boxed with the manuals and charger, all contents still intact, windows xp installed with the coa on the back, basically working and looking as new - apart from a cracked screen. It was sold to me with this description so i was aware of the cracked screen.
The question I ask, is a replacement LCD screen cost's 44 pounds, which would take my total outgoings for this 'project' 89 pounds. So, do I get a replacement screen, fit it myself and sell the notebook fully working, or in terms of profit is there more money in stripping it down and selling the motherboard, charger, battery, hard drive, ram, bezel etc?
I basically want whichever option is likely to give me the most profit!

Broken down, the components might be worth a tenner more than you paid IF you can sell them all which I wouldn't bet on. With a new screen, I'd suggest you might get £120 for it.I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.
But, if the white runs out, I'll drink the red.0
