Old computer for sale


Question Posted Tuesday September 14 2004, 2:23 pm

I'm thinking of selling my old computer. It's a 486 with 4 megabytes of RAM running windows 3.11. How much should I be asking for it?

d00d, I'd give you the $10 for it. I have very fond memories of our old Zeos 486 running Windows 3.1.

Of course, unless you're a really huge computer nerd like myself, no one's really going to want it. Double that if it's a desktop. You might convince someone to take a laptop. 'Course, laptops back in that day were rather large and klunky, but what do you want?

If no one will take it, deconstruct it and make an art project out of it. Or give it to an artist who will. Art departments everywhere are usually looking for random junk to turn into works of art.

Don't bother selling it unless you REALLY want some change. Just take out different parts that may be OK to use later, but even then, if they're that old they still probably aren't that good. To be honest, I'd just throw the computer in the trash, although it MAY be worth 5-10 bucks, I doubt anyone will buy it.

LMAO. Either keep it n mess w/ it or just dump it. lol its not worth anything. I dont think id even keep it o_0. Scrap it maybe, keep the floppy, video, sound, maybe the power. I doubt it even has a cd-rom but if it does then you can keep that. You could maybe sell that to get a total of like 5 bucks. But ... ya ... chances are u wont get much.

well first i'd say go on ebay and compare prices. If you can't find any, i would say a couple hundred bucks. Depends on its condition-- best of luck tho
