Hi all,

Not sure if ths is the right place to put this, please move or delete if it isn't.

I'm looking at changing my laptop however want to sell the old one first but have no idea how much anyone would pay!

It is a Toshiba M40X-189, a brief run through of spec is;
512MB RAM
Intel Centrino Technology Pentium M 1.6GHz
60GB HDD
Wireless 802.11b/g

Your help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Simon

    I'll give you a tenner.

    But seriously have a look on ebay at completed listings for that model and see what they went for.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    It'll be a fair whack.

    Laptops on eBay tend to go for more than they're worth, I think, considering the cost of a new one these days.

    Seems like a good spec. Just make sure you spend a bit of time on a descriptive and exhaustive ad. , and plenty of photos.

    And make sure you completely remove all your old personal data!

    I'd say about £120 upwards

    Best to sell without a hard disk if you're worried about personal data, but then you lose the OS...just clear out all the my documents etc...

    Or run dban on it and re-install the OS after
