Hello,
Seeing that the prices are rapidly dropping, I would like to sell my 365XD
laptop but not sure how much to ask. I would like to know from you guys how
much it would be fair to ask for this machine:
-TP365XD, 120Mhz, onboard audio, CDROM drive, 32 MBRAM (40MB total)
-External floppy, all documentation included
-Combo Ethernet/14.4 kbps network/modem card
-28.8 PCMCIA USR modem, ext to 56kbps
-Extended (1YR) 72h turnaround IBM warranty
-External logitech mouse
-Carrying case (worth$150)
-Master lock (the cable)
I am thinking of asking $2500 (which is about U$1800) and accept offers..
What do you think? Is it too much? How much would you ask? How much would
you pay?
Many thanks for any ideas. I have not checked current prices so this is only
an estimate
I noticed earlier today on the comp.sys.laptops newsgroup that someone
picked up a floor model 365XD from a place such as CompUSA or Office Depot
with specs very close to yours with a 3 year (extended) warranty for $500
U.S. If your machine is the 10.4" TFT model, I would think that between
$700-$900 U.S. would be the fair and going price for this machine. With the
ThinkPad 380D 150MMX model with 12.1" TFT screen going for around $1300 new,
the prices of older models are dropping even more.
You can always try to ask a bit more for your machine locally, but on the
Internet this would probably be the price range most people are used to.
Hope this helps...
