$500-600.

Asus notebooks have a really bad resale value. You're better off just keeping it.

What makes them have a poor resale value?

Technology has a bad resale value in general.

But Asus also has the problem with poor brand recognition for the general public. Only the "enthusiast" would know about Asus. Moreover, they would be informed enough to avoid paying more than what its really worth.

On the other hand, Apple for instance has a high resale value due to the high prices they charge in the first place. As a result, depreciation wouldn't be so high.

I sold my z96j last year. It took forever (4 months), but I didn't lose that much to depreciation since I sold to a personal friend. That would be a very unique and lucky case.
