Hello!
I recently moved into the UK from Sweden, and I´m currently trying to sell my MSI GX660R Gaming Laptop. ( Due to lack of ££ )
Specs:
i7, 6gb ddr3, 1tb hd ( 2x500GB Raid-0 ) and Radeon 5870 mobility graphics, 15.6" fullHD screen.
The condition is near-mint and theres a carrybag and zalman-laptop cooler included.
What do you guys think I can get for this laptop? I have been trying to sell it for £750.
Thanks for any answers!
Cheers Max
*I only have it listed on Gumtree

if you do ebay i would recommend doing collection only and cash only--saves the paypal fees
and helps to avoid posting it to some plum that says it doesnt do this or that doesnt work
etc--i always carefully check everything i sell on ebay but still had a few of those and the
worst thing is ebay will make you give a refund and pay the return post as you have no way
to prove it worked perfectly when you posted it
might be tempted myself its a nice bit of kit --what postcode area are you in

Got some recent news, I actually contacted a website: http://www.millraceit.co.uk/ and asked them what price they were willing to take my laptop for. They mailed back saying £700, but they need the pc for "inspection" 3-5 days before I get payed. A courier could come and pick it up. Anyone know anything about these sites or am I merely starting to fall for a scam, albeit a kinda good one?
was sorely tempted--but i have so much pc stuff already i really need to stop buying stuff
i have seen millraceit selling laptops and pc stuff on ebay so my guess would be they give you £700 and put it on ebay for £900 to £950
they can afford to wait to get a buyer--dont know how happy i would be handing it over to a courier though--how would they pay assuming they are satisfied its all fine--and does the courier give a detailed receipt? is it insured while they or their courier have it?
heres their ebay feedback page to help you get an idea of how good they are

and heres their stuff for sale

They told me I would get tracking and receipt from the courier - it will be insured. I think I will actually bite on their offer, since I´m having a hard time finding a non-scammer to actually buy my product, not trying to get me alone in the park at 11.30 PM with the laptop
THank you for your help!
