I don't own a laptop actually. No real need for one. It'd be nice to have, but no real need. As far as being better, since i dont own a laptop I'll have to assume you mean my desktop. In which case, not in the slightest.

Your dumb. Unless its buy now, other people are going to bid on it and make the price go up.

you're.. and...no shit! that's why they call it an auction. That being said, things don't usually go higher than retail, for the very fact that most bidders stop when they hit retail price. All the bidders except yourself of course, who would probably keep on bidding.

lol, you're a typical moron. I don't even know why i bother talking to you. You try to use petty insults against people to make yourself feel better. Guess what, it doesn't affect me the slightest bit.

Where did I insult you? I just stated simple facts, none of which you've been able to respond to.

My favorite part is when people catch on to it, or just suspect it and the seller's fake account ends up winning the auction.

Sometimes its obvious, like only one or two feedbacks and most of them small ticket items or digital delivery and account date creation not too long before the item is put up for sale. They do yoink those accounts when they catch them though.

That's an insult? Thats just a prediction of what someone like you would do in the situation. Clearly thems fightin words. Especially considering everything else I've said to you.

Still not able to provide any actual arguments eh?

You don't lower your price by 50 dollars if somethings used.. people aren't gonna trust a used product as much as brand new, and knocking 50 dollars off ain't gonna ease their concerns. I'm not trying to be mean anymore, just giving you honest advice now. You're gonna have to sacrifice some from your buying price because people will not pay that much for a used product.

I see what you're saying, but I really tried basing on my price on what others were pricing there laptops at. Mine even comes with windows xp, which is priced at 130 dollars or so. The laptop itself is in great condition, and other people on that forum told me what they would possibly pay for it here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=265426

Theres a whole lot of suggestions for lower than that, and most the ones who suggesting lower sound less stupid than the ones suggesting higher.

oh and advice for your desktop that you're building, go BFG tech instead of XFX for the vid card. I'd also go a different brand on the motherboard, my personal preference is Asus.

and as ive told you lots of times, 4 Gigs will not hold you for very long.
