sounds good, give me a couple days, but if someone else makes an offer take it, 
if I snooze to long I lose, smile.

  oh, i'm in the US. i just relocated from california to texas. If you decide 
to take it, i'll cover the shipping cost, and we can negociate on the price, 
since it sounds like you will be pullying it apart, and rebuilding it to your 
own personal specs. we can drop the price alot lower. you can message me off 
list at lupshaw@xxxxxxxxxxx when you decide if you want to move forward with 
this or not.

    ok, hmmm I'll have to look the unit up and see what it can take, if I get a 
comp with a quad processor, I'm going to want more ram, and I have to have at 
least a 160 Gb HD, if not my stuff won't fit, I have only 40 Gb left on this 
drive which is a 160 itself, so less won't work. 

    I'll take a look, and see what I can do with the thing and let you know if 
I'm still interested. 

    I'm not fond of HP's, but I'll consider it.

    BTW, if you don't mind, where are you at, I know I have talked to several 
folks in the middle east about used computers since a very old in comparison 
computer can run the equivalent of a "normal" families food budget for a year.

    I'll let you know.

    take care,

      it's likely you saw the correct figure of the hard drive, but it was 
gratefully brought to my attention that prices are certainly different from 
place to place. the drive space on it is 27.9 GB, which i'm aware is small in 
comparisen to what's sold in stores like target and walmart in some areas. as i 
said in the previous message, i had originally quoted a price according to what 
things are sold for locally for me, but all is negociable.

        a question, how big is the hard drive? what came through on the first 
Email did not sound right?

          O man sorry, didn't realize that's how it was in your area...My 
appologies... I just figured since you put it up online, many people might 
think you're ripping them off... But I'll shut up now lol...

          thanks for the help, and i don't think you're being rude, but 
truthfully in my area, what you just described would cost nearly 700 to 800 
dollars. believe me, i have no intension of ripping anyone off. My purchase of 
office was $199.00 USD, so selling it at $200.00 would suggest the hardware 
itself is worthless. If i have only sell it for about 200, i would. i just need 
the money right now, and was basing the price on what's available around here. 
as i said it's totally negociable.

            Not to be rood, but a system with these specs wouldn't sell for 
that much. I can get a toshiba at my local walmart with 3 gigs of ram, a 250gb 
hdd and a dual core processor at either 2.0 or 2.4 ghz for that same price, or 
online another with similar specs for $300-350... Did you forget to include 
something/misswrote something in the specs? I just wouldn't see this system 
seling for $400, well I could see it, but it would be considered a rip off... 
I'd give you around $150-200 for it because of offfice being included, that is 
a plus... Now if you could upgrade the ram and hard drive, is it really 28gb? 
if so then you could probably get more for it... Not considering to purchase, 
just trying to help you out with this one so that you can get it sold...

            HTH, D!J!X!
