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. ----- Original Message ----- From: The Elf To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 1:59 PM Subject: Re: o/t laptop for sale 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.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: D!J!X!

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...
