How much is my computer worth?
my laptop is an Inspiron B130, 2yrs old, 512 MB, 60GB memory, its fast
the only problem with it, it occasionally crashes with PFN_list_corrupt errors, so the operating system isn’t running perfect. the computer is in excellent condition like new.
how much would my computer sell on Ebay, or other used computer dealers?
15 in display, dell
Best thing to do is to use the computer statistics in an ebay search for Closed or Completed Auctions. You have to log in to ebay first, then go to the advanced search page to get this option. Don’t focus on the brand so much as the statistics.
Consider the following:
If it’s 2 years old, does it still have warranty support? Yes, means more money.
If you’re selling it, then for security reasons, consider buying a new hard drive for it and selling it without anything installed – but with the CD’s that came with it. Note that it’s illegal to sell the CD’s separately from the machine they came with. And if you sell the computer with a Certificate of Authenticity sticker on it, then you have to give the new owner the CD’s or something it writing that says "I lost it" so they can get the CD’s from the manufacturer or microsoft. Otherwise, remove the CoA and destroy it. But you lose a lot of value that way.
Is there anything on it that doesn’t work, but YOU don’t care? Like the touchpad on a laptop, the hotkeys on the keyboard, or the sound? The new owner might care, and you should tell them up front, even if you don’t care about it. Try to get them working if you’re selling it with everything installed.
What software will you give them, and do you still have the installers or CD’s they came from? Make a list and put it on the ebay sales page – or take screenshots of the All Programs menu, and post that. The more info you give a buyer the more they will be willing to pay for it on ebay.

Not knowing any real details about it, I’d say it’s in the range of $300. That assumes the new owner will fix whatever problems it has for about $150 after they buy it. So make your reserve 275, and your buy it now 400. Good luck!
You will need to erase the hard drive and restore the system. You will get less for it if it is crashing (and it would be unethical to sell it without disclosing a known problem)
Go on eBay and do an Advanced Search for closed auctions of the same model of machine. This will tell you what similar models have sold for (and which ones didn’t sell at the asking price)

Its not worth much at all. Consider this, you can get 2-3 gb of RAM for 90 dollars, a terabyte hard drive for 160 dollars, etc.. Really what I’d do is check craigslist and list it at a price that similarly equipped computers are going for. EBAY isn’t the best place to try and unload a computer. I’d think about selling your monitor separately especially if it is an LCD, they tend to hold their value a lot better.
So say 300 dollars for the computer and drop to 250 if you need to negotiate.
