$1500 BIN. Seems a bit steep...not as outrageous as I would've thought, though.

That is the problem as I see it with Ebay, 90% ot the computer stuff is over priced, and you have to search for hours for a deal. In the real world, as soon as you start a computer it looses 50% of its value. You can usually get more by selling it in parts.

If you can't sell it to some idiot on Ebay for 5x it's value, you can always try 4x it's value next time...then 3 1/2, then 3, then 2 1/2, etc.

amen to that...and ppl get into the bidding cycle of i'm gonna win this item....i've been bidding on a few refurbished laptops on ebay...it's amazing what some ppl will pay for a used lappy....by the time you purchase a used lappy and prolly a new battery, from what i've seen so far the batteries are not guarenteed, and they are advertized as used batteries 'not tested'...you could buy a decent new laptop...all i can say is....lol
