With ordering my new system I have told a guy at work he can have my old one for a nominal price but I'm not sure what is a reasonable price to offer him. Second hand PCs dont seem to have any value at all and specs now mean you can get a lot for your cash.

What would you say is a reasonable price for the following:

AMD Athlon 3200 Barton core
Good Asus mobo
1 gb RAM
80gb Hard drive
ATI 9600XT gfx card
Plextor CDRW and seperate DVD drive
19" CRT monitor

I was tempted to let him have it for £50 tbh

it would probably cost you £50 to get rid of it these days mate so yes - give it to him for £50 and it's happy days

M

I end up horading PC bits and supplying various family with my hand me downs. If I got £50 for that I'd be happy.

Do a search for 2nd user pc's m8 £50 for a base is fine but think you would be looking to spend nearer £100
from speedy computers or some such seller.If its a m8 the £50 no come back and he buy's the first round
As Mongoose said happy days will pay for your ram at least

I'd make sure you say if anything breaks it's not your job to fix it. I normally give my old PCs or bits away like Sift yet people still seem to think that you provide a lifetime warranty with them.

same, usually hand them out to m8's when something breaks, and end up with then wanting a full service, so ive taken to just throwing them in a box.

Say the hard drive is chock full of porn and charge him £100.
I give my old ones to family and friends though I did donate one to my kids school once but got a phone call from some twatish council IT guy hassling me cos I hadn't done it through proper channels and he told the school they couldn't use it. In the end the PTA raffled it and got £115 from the raffle so that was good.

Anywho £50 sounds reasonable

On that note, does anyone want a 56k ISDN stand alone modem?
