How much should I sell it for?

by swbey90 Dec 15, 2009 9:05AM PST

I have an Asus X83VB-X2 and the hard drive got messed up. I don't have the cash to fix it so how much should I sell it for. I need a laptop before school starts up again. That's pretty much it.

Bad news.

A non-working laptop is worth at worst about 10% of what a working one is. I'd use ANY hard drive to show it working. Even a cheap drive like http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=ST940814AS-NDW-NP&cat=HDD

That's 15 bucks and money you'll get back.

Yes hard drives are cheap and

they just pop out so they are easy to fix. It's even nicer if you have your drive imaged and youy can restore to your files back.
