[QUOTE="hndcvcboi, post: 640171, member: 37676"] I have one word for you, ready? Here it is... ebay LOL, people pay inflated prices for used computers on ebay and are happy to do it. I have no idea why but that is the way it is. Last year I sold an Asus laptop that was about 2 yrs old for $800. It had a AMD Turion (yuck!) CPU in it and I personally wouldn't have given more than $200 for it but someone wanted it. Apple commands higher prices because of brand recognition in much the same way that Honda and Toyota do. An Apple will hold it's resale value better than most. That being said, I think it's foolish to try and sell a computer every year just to upgrade to the latest model. You may get away with spending just a few hundred dollars to make it happen but in the end it's still just a computer and that hard earned cash can be well spent on necessities. In today's economy it makes more sense to save your money for a rainy day and be prepared. Just my 2 cents worth..... [/QUOTE]
