    I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 that I got a couple years back and I wanted to know where I could get the most money for it so I can get a NEW computer.


    T2050 @ 1.60 GHz
    2.00 GB of RAM
    Nvidia GeForce Go 7300

    Needs a new battery.

    15 inch monitor.

    Help please!

    Try craigslist. Look for people in the UH area, there may be students looking to buy laptops. If not that, there is always ebay.

    lemme know how it works out for ya.. i have an old dell too, and need an upgrade, didnt think it would be worth the trouble of selling it tho, seeing as how i dont think i could get much for mines either..

    i'd be interested to hear an update if you find a buyer

    i have the same laptop, 1.83 ghz processor and better video.... but i wouldn't even expect 200 for it. try 1 or 150, then it would be a deal someone on a tight budget would consider. you can get better laptops with newer batteries and more ram and all that jazz for way less now than you could three years ago.

    if u ask for a price here, someone here might buy it. Why do u need to upgrade a cpu that's 2 yrs old anyway? Does it not do what u need or are you a peerson that has to have the newest tech stuff?

    How much do you want for your old one. I'll take it off your hands. I'm looking for a laptop.
