What's my laptop worth?

[Appletax]

Got the super-sweet Legion 5 Pro from Walmart for $1399 (QHD Display, Ryzen 7 5800, RTX 3070, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD).

So, now I gotta get rid of my old laptop. What do you suggest I ask for it? It's in very good cosmetic condition.

It all depends on who and where you sell it.

The numbers I'm giving you are based on estimates and whatnot. Take them with a grain of salt.

I used to work at a pawn shop, we would sell something like that for about $399 - $499.95 Canadian, that's based on a 20% pawn rate based on original retail value and a markup. (Translated to Canadian the $800 price tag is closer to $1000 dollars, so we would give a loan of around $200 ish as a ballpark, then if the loan defaulted mark up from there.) The $100 variable is there for condition.

Selling private can sometimes get you more, but also comes with more headaches.

Why not put it in inventory and see if a customer needs it? You'll get a better price that way.

What's your definition of sell? My definition of sell is have it leave my hands in 7 days, as an example. I did a quick look at eBay and there's a handful, including used for a bit less than what you paid. Use the advanced search below to see what's been sold on eBay.

I mean, eBay can give you a range of prices but it's no longer a marketplace I can recommend for sellers.

Listed it locally for $675 to start. Might be asking too much as I only paid $510 for it lol.

In that case I'd put it out for auction starting at $499 with a buy it now of $675.00. Give it 7 days.
