    Looking to see what prices it could fetch. I know I can sell it for my bottom line, but I am curious to see what others would price it at. Why didn't I ask in BST? Because people who want to buy it will give me a low ball figure.

    I just paid $700 (and its a referb) for mine and its not nearly half as nice as that. I dont think you will have a problem getting 1K for it, possibly more. Sorry I cant be more help.

    Decent machine, with a lot of extra value in throwing in the monitor, UPS and subwoofer. (Seems like a nice KB and mouse, too)

    I'd be asking $1.2K at least. Not sure what that would be in USD :D

    I heard somewhere that CND and USD are currently sitting at the same value right now.

    Not sure if its true, thanks for the input :)

    Don't think so - we hit $1.10 yesterday, closed at $1.07... unless she plummeted today.

    I'll wipe my butt and you give me $250 for it.

    Sure.

    1 CAD = 1.06352 USD

    1200 * 1.06352 = 1276.24

    If I was selling it, I would probably start it at around $1,000 but that's without any of the peripherals. Throw in all of them, and you should be able to get a few hundred more.

    Maybe if the case was pristine. I did a horrible hack job of cutting two fan holes in the side. It looks fine, except up close. Then I painted the side with the wrong type of black paint.

    So its not a perfect machine.

    I don't want to ship, so its staying local.

    Are you posting it at any of the local colleges? I'd also see if any of your local computer shops would sell it on consignment. Frankly ...I'd say you are in the ballpark with the pricing ....bump it to $1500 ....let them have room to dicker.:)

    Well, I just now put it on craigslist.

    Im debating where I will put it next. TBH, I don't want to sell it to anyone that actually might call me in the future when they get malware and think its a hardware issue (college students, anyone?).

    I don't have time. Come January, I wont have time for MGs, much less something like that.

    Good idea though.

    Are the pics sufficient enough?

    I'm firm on 1K on there. I'm giving a hell of a lot of hardware for that.

    Pic's look good ..except for the monitor (need to bounce the flash) ....but you will get people asking about shipping (did I miss that notice?)

    I do think you could consign it and let a shop list it at 1500 and give you the 1 K ....

    What's happening in Jan? Is there something no one told me :cry (Oh ...school, right.....sorry but that is not an excuse!!)

    No shipping--local posting.


    I might try the consignment, didnt think of that.

    My isp will do the consignment ...send it on over ..:D
