Many Thanks again!
your notebook specs are still 'competitive' in the second hand resale market. try seelin it to a potential user direct. if you sell it to a shhop or its rep you may not get back as much cash. notebooks have some good ways of gettin off in the resale market since it is portable and a demostarion can be made to a buyer if the reasle price is agreeable between both parties.Originally posted by Shohoku10:Acer Travelmate 4001LCi

name yr price.. im seriously interestedOriginally posted by Shohoku10:Hiz, I have a used lappie which i may want to sell off in order to buy a new one. Can any expert advise if there is any shop ard sim lim sq which takes in used laptop? or is there any other better way to sell it off? Thanks!
its actually not online selling, forums are just a medium for you to contact the interested buyer and meet up in real life and do the transaction.Originally posted by Shohoku10:Hiz everyone,
thanxs alot for taking time to read this post and posting valuable comments.
Haha seriously i nv thought that this acer tm model 's specs still considered 'competitive' in 2nd hand mkt cos most pple will go for new unused lappies. I am hoping to sell this used lappie so that I can use the money to buy a 12'' sotec lappie which prob costs less than 1k. (Is this a wise idea?) So now I have 2 options, 1 is to sell this tm and buy a new lappie or just continue to keep and use this lappie at home. Personally I have nv tried selling things online b4 to strangers (oop dun laugh at my suakuness) and dun really have alot of trust in this kind of online transaction.
One thing though, the acer tm i wish to get off has no more warranty. Plus it is heavy-weight for mobile usage. Think veri carefully if u want this lappie.
roughly $1000-$1200.Originally posted by Shohoku10:Btw...can u guys suggest the selling price of this old lappie? I hope to have your expert opinion so that i can conclude on a price. Sori cuz I am a computing idiot haha...Just dun wish to be a complete idiot though...![]()
its is norm for the buyers to quote a much lower price since they wan to make profits out of it too. that's why i hope u can let it go with buyers who intend to use the hardware on their own. even if you buy a unit and use it for a day, the unit will still be considered as second hand used to another buyer. you get to sell what that can be bought brand new and get back some cash...while the buyers pay lower at the risk of the unit being faulty/ not functioning at tip top condition. u can't convince them the truth and the buyers have to take the chances of the unit working under 99% efficiency.Originally posted by Shohoku10:Hiz peeps, I called up a few resellers to test water first.
Turn out that most of them not really that friendly when they hear that I am interested in selling the used laptop to them.
First qn they ask: Pentium wat?
Second qn: M arh, ok wat price u wan to sell tell me and i call u back when i checked out mkt rate
When I quote abt 800-900 plus, different resellers give me varying prices, from $300 to 600 plus... I'm sure u all know that they will sell off this lappie at a much more higher price if I had sold to them.
Will discuss with my parents and seek their opinion whether to sell or not. But my guess is that their ans will prob be : Wat, siao arh? few hundred bucks for a laptop bought at 2k plus 1yr plus ago? might as well keep it at home and buy a brand new cheap one better lar.
One of the posts mentioned abt using this old lappie as a media laptop, add ram wat lar, guess i will consider that.
And nope, i need 2x 2.9kg lappies for both arms to become muscular. haha, i think now one arm more muscular than the other haha
Ok lastly, I wanna ask if intel Pentium M considers better/advanced than intel celeron M or otherwise? Pardon me for being a noob here
Thanks for ur time and attention.
