Does £800 sound too much or to little considering it's a year old but with new parts?

Answer 1

Having been in to be repaired if anything would probably lower the value, Vista Business is probably something a lot of potential buyers would want to stay away from (since even Windows XP is better than Vista).

Laptops do lose value very quickly and you'll probably have trouble finding someone who will buy at that price although you should sell it for whatever the market will handle.

Answer 2

£800 does sound to much. Anything in excess of £500 is probably too much. Windows computers don't have a very high resell value.
