Stone laptop W76TH

My son has a Stone W76TH laptop, and will soon be receiving a desktop PC. What would be a reasonable value for his old laptop?

He won't give it to you for free - you should have put him up for adoption decades ago!

My son's autistic, and very good at saving money. I would basically want to give him a fair price.

That listing ended over 2 years ago so I imagine the price is drastically less now.

The seller was also (effectively) an online pawn shop, so they would likely charge more than a private seller.

But it's your son - only you can decide how much it is worth, as you'd need to balance his expectations against how much you wish to spend.

Bless him though, he only expects about £30. It is purely a token gesture, as it gives me opportunity to give him some money, and me to upgrade my laptop.

If it was from the Home Fund or something similar, you may wish to run a clean install if it came replete with NetIntelligence and the like.

Ok. Thanks.
