So you think £475 is reasonable?

Nope, too cheap if its only 8 weeks old. The one for £550 is 4months old and only has 1gig ram.

Put it in for over 5 at least.

You could always list it and let it run through the auction? sometimes you get excellent sold price if people start having bidding wars on you items.:D

too cheap!

Put it on at £600 BIN but accept best offers................you'll attract a few comedians but someone may come up with a sensible proposal.

Don't forget to include the serial # of the mobo, disk, battery etc. in the listing. Plenty of jokers will send you back a wreck and claim their 'refund'. And set your prefs for no bidders with zero feedback, recent negs or registered in Nigeria.

Include the original proof of purchase when you sell, and hey presto - it's got a warranty you can put in your advert.
And/or - if it's only 8 weeks old, do a factory reload, and list it as new?
