Where can I get a second hand laptop?

Hi all

DD1 has got a laptop at the top of her Christmas list :rolleyes: . The problem is that as she is the eldest of 3, Christmas is rather an expensive time of year so I wondered if anyone knew of companies that sold off laptops that were no longer needed.

I have looked on Ebay but TBH some aren't much cheaper than buying a brand new one (which we aren't in the market to do). As for DD1, she isn't a greedy girl and this really would help out with her A-levels but we really aren't in the market to spend loads on one child. Any advice anyone may have gratefully received. I will also post this on the Christmas board, but thanks in advance

    Thanks Rose but after spending hours and hours on Ebay I managed to get hold of one last night for £118:T OH has checked the spec and says that it is fine for her requirements so we will have one very happy DD on Christmas morning as she has no idea it is coming!
