[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 640058, member: 2960"] Then you would be assuming quite a bit. Look at it this way... why would someone buy your old computer and save only $200 to $300 and end up with an older computer, when they could get a new one for not much more? Plus, they would get a full warranty with the new computer which they wouldn't get with yours. A more realistic loss would be around 30% of your purchase price in the first year... and that is if the computer is still in pristine condition with all of the included discs, connectors and manuals. Granted, some people are not that educated when it comes to older computers and might pay the higher cost. You can't count on that, though. Also, you would have to go through the trouble of actually selling it before you can get the new one. There is no guarantee that you could sell it at all. Buying a new computer every year just doesn't make any practical sense, no matter how you try to spin it. [/QUOTE]
