Hi all,

I am trying to sell this for my Dad, and thought I would start out with a feeler. Please help me price and package for the best return? Thanks

R52 type 1858-R11

Original description: Based on 1858-22U: Celeron M 370(1.5GHz), 256MB RAM, 40GB 4200rpm HD, 14.1in 1024x768 LCD, Intel 900, CDRW/DVDR, Intel 802.11bg wireless(MPCI), Modem(CDC), 1Gb Ethernet(LOM), UltraNav, Secure Chip, 6c Li-Ion batt, WinXP Home

Extras:
9 cell battery around 70 cycles
P M 1.6ghz
60gig HD 7200 rpm
PC2 4200 533mhz 512mb sodimm
WinXP pro installed

Should I sell the base unit and sell the extras seperate for best value?

Thanks

Edit: Forgot DVD-Rom is included not CDRW/DVDR.

I'd say separate and you'll get more...probably $250 for the base unit plus whatever you can get for the extras, ,ore than you'd get for the upgraded machine itself, which would be hard pushed to go over $300..

My $0.02 only.

Good luck with the sale.

I'd drop the 1.6GHz Pentium M CPU and the extra 512MB of RAM in the R52 and list it for about $300.

If it's in nice cosmetic condition, it should sell quickly.

The drive and battery are better sold individually.

Thanks for the input.

The pentium m CPU is in the machine, the original celeron was sold in a box.

PM sent for HD.

Laptop was sold localy in stock config with the extra 512 Ram for $375.

Please lock.

Thanks
