Did I Sell It For A Good Price?

Question

I just bought a laptop and got rid of my old desktop by taking it to cash converters.

I've heard from everyone that they are crooks and dont offer much for a trade in.

My computer was an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ with 70GB Capacity, 1.5GHZ and 240MB of ram.

I'm aware that it was a dinosaur as far as computer specs today. I bought the computer in 2001 so that would make it 7 years old.

I traded the computer with a 17" CRT Monitor and an old keyboard all for $130 AUD.

I dont believe it was such a bad price, as ive asked questions on here before regarding how much i should sell it for and i've gotten responses like ' i wouldnt pay 50 bux for that'.

How do you think i went?

Answer 1

It's quite good; as a full computer $130 Aussie is around right on that for an old complete machine, if you think about what parts can be salvaged/cannibalized for a modern computer $50 is even tad too much especially shipping is a factor in final payment.

I have almost identical spec old chum I guess I could do the same here.

Answer 2

It sounds just about right. As for those other answers, they are probably US American Y!A users, obviously their sense of price and currency is different compared to Aussies.
