Price check Asus A8JS

Skip's Destiny · 04-14-2008, 10:38 AM

I was thinking of switching to an IBM T61p , so my reliable Asus A8JS has to go. I havent put it up for sale yet, as there's no rush.
What do you guys think I can get for these specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo 1.66GHz, FSB: 667MHz, 2MB L2 Cache
nVidia Go7700 512MB Discrete Memory
2GB RAM, DDR2 667MHz (2x1GB)
120GB 5400RPM 2.5-inch SATA Harddrive
8x DVD-RW Dual Layer Drive
Intel PRO 3945 Wireless 802.11a/b/g
8-in-1 Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS Pro/XD)
DVI, Firewire, 5 USB ports, Infrared
Asian market version: has bluetooth
Battery holds about a 95% charge and is good for 2:20 to 2:30 hours max.

I recently took it to an Asus service center and they replaced all exterior parts (lcd exterior and interior covers, top chassis cover, and keyboard) for free, so this lappy's condition is almost like new, save for afew marks on the bottom chassis.

Thanks very much for your input.

I sold mine with similar specs for 575... and it included a paint job.

I would safely say 500 is reasonable.

Alright thanks alot. 500 sounds reasonable. By paint job you mean that you changed the laptop's original stock color to a personalized color, am I right? Just curious, what colors did you choose?

Hmm, if I fingerpainted on the asus lid, do you think I can sell it as a modern art piece?

lol , no I painted the whole chassis to a different color, and then added a glossy coating to make it shiny...

if you are an artist... lol... and want to paint it... only to pawn it off as priceless artwork... be my guest.

lmao... i found that really funny
