you may get possibly $400 if the computer was complete along with monitor, mouse and keyboard. For the guts alone, i wouldn't expect much more than your first response.

Computers depreciate 100x more than cars do. Also i didn't get your last comment, did you buy the computer already used for $322 stock then added another 150 on top? if so even $200 is too much.

Hp aren't reputable in being too lenient on hardware quality either, just saying.
Unless you find (or are found by) someone that has a need for your particular hardware, I think you would be lucky to get 50% of purchase price for the PC and components. Computer hardware depreciates rapidly. you will notice that performance in general is always increasing, while prices are staying the same or even decreasing. The used computer market is a crapshoot at best.

Yes, i spent 322$ on stock, then spent about 150$ for it, although, i believe the people who referbished the system replaced some parts, probably the PSU, But, im not to sure
