Hey,

Was looking at the rules and didn't mention :S Now normally I'd just assume "game only" but saw someone sell a GPS here so I was wondering if selling a laptop is honkey-dorry?

For specs:

It's a 2 month old Dell XPS M1530. (less actually, 05/21/2008)

-Intel Core 2 DuoT9300 (2.5GHz/800Mhz FSB, 6MB Cache)
-4 gigs of 667mhz DDR2 ram
-Full Hi Definition, glossy widescreen 15.4 inch LCD (1920x1200) WUXGA
-Nvidia 9800M GT (DDR3 version so the best 9800m GT)
-320GB 5400rpm SATA Hard Drive
-Came installed with Vista Home premium, currently a legit XP Pro on there, could have either one on when shipped, will come with Vista cds (and all other cds, documentation, and drivers).
-Slot Load DVD+/-RW (like the Wii/PS3 cd drives)
-Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card
-56 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
-Trend Micro for 2 years if anyone cares
-2Yr In-Home Service, Parts Labor, 24x7 Phone Support (1 year and 10 months now I guess)
-Included 3 GB DataSafe Online Backup for 1Yr (if you care)

Also has the dell media direct (and included media direct remote still un-opened from it's bag) Has a 2 megapixel webcam on-top of the screen and fingerprint reader.

Works perfect, just haven't used it for the last 3 weeks or so since I love my PC so much (even though the lappys better :P). No problems that are common with the XPS M1530. Comes with everything that it came with originally (carrying case with magnet cover, documents/manuals, cds, media direct remote, ac adapter, original box it shipped in as well. Only thing that is missing is the 14 day trial of LOTR Online, which I'm fairly certain can be dled for free at the LOTR website, and do yourself a favor and don't try it.)

- No keyboard bulge, originally had one but was taken care of.
- No dead pixels far as I can see.
- Has the ground in the ac adapter so no shocking yourself ;p


- Will have a fresh (and updated) install of either XP Pro or Vista Home Premium (either one, no dual booting sorry) and come with Vista Premium disc. Will probably install firefox unless you ask me not too :P Will clear dell shovelware as well.



So again, is sale of this thing allowed, and would anyone be interested in it?

Yes, you can sell laptops here. Lots of people sell stuff that aren't games.

No idea about the value, sorry.

I have a fair idea about what I want and I know the value, I was more wondering if there was any interest ;p

I'm sure you could sell it if you either work something out with the buyer or link to your ebay feedback. I see you have good feedback around here but it is only a months worth of it. Maybe the buyer won't care, though. I think I bought my old Neo Geo from a new guy...that was only a few hundred bucks, though. Anyway, you would probably come out with more $$ if you sold it on a computer site. Like www.ComputerPowerUser.com

Seconded.
Are you going to share the price with us or is that going to be private?

I've sold a fair share of dvds to people on the board here.

haha ;p a bit more than that ^^ if you just build this comp from the base up on the dell site without going through the "bundle" lappys it'd be well over 2k, even if you did use a bundle it's a hella lot ;p but I will of course not be charging anywhere near 2k.
