Answer 1

This women KT with the second answer could not be more wrong.  It seems she has no idea about a modern pawnbroker.  No one in their right mind would buy a computer from 1989.  That being said we would probably pay around $250 for it at our store in Michigan.

Answer 2

I dont know ! they would probibly give you 100 dollars for it.

Answer 3

nooo dont pawn it !!!

post it on Craigslist.com for your local area

i bet you will get at least a hundred more than you would by pawning, and it would be just as fast... people will come pick it up from you and give you cash.

i bet you wont get more than $30 for it at a pawn shop- no lie- those guys know no difference between your pc and one from 1989.
