How much is this worth?

Options
I have now taken delivery of a new PC and am looking to sell my old one to a work colleague of a friend ..

I don't want to rip them or myself off and have no idea about the value of old PCs

This is probably very subjective but can anyone offer a ball-park figure for this please?

Approx 5 years old, reasonable condition


Mesh desktop tower
ACPI Uniprocessor PC
AMD Athlon XP 1700+
1.47GHz
512 MB of RAM
MS Windows XP Home edition version 2002
Disk drives - 40gb Maxtor 6E04OLO & Maxtor 6Y08OLO - I might take this 80gb drive out
Display – NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440
DVD/CD-ROM Drives - LG DVD-ROM DRD8160B & TEAC CD-W524E
Floppy Disk Drive
Standard 101/102-Key Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard
Microsoft PS/2 Mouse
Plug & Play Monitor – Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 740 SB 17”
4 USB slots

many thanks

  • it's pretty low spec compared to the latest computers, it's like a couple in my loft I robbed for spares, wires, cd's, hd's, as long as all they want to do is web or office stuff, they will be happy, as said above, to pay about £80-, but if they expect their kids to be playing the latest games on it at christmas they are going to be dissapointed even if you gave it to them.
