Any input you have would be great as I really don't know how things like this depreciate. Thanks is advance

that's a fairly high end machine ... at only 6 months, dunno why you'd sell it.

The reason I'm selling her is because the school provided me with a computer and oh ya, I really, really want a crotch rocket. Can anybody suggest a selling price please.

I Just bought a HP similar specs, except for a 60gig HDD and I.2gig RAM, but it has a 17" Widescreen and DVD burner. It's only 4 months old and I paid 600,000 for it. Nice little unit. Laptops depreciate considerably. How much did you fork out for it?

Nice specs - the only concerns I have is the fact it is an Acer and sounds like you bought a store warranty and all the problems that go with that - had a similar situation in Japan (with a Toshinba i had bought at Future Shop and an in-store "International Warranty" - had to wait to get back to Canada to fix a sound card. Also the 533 with 1.6 may be a little slow to run Vista efficiently - (i.e. may be sluggish - had a similar config witha Samsung and sold it cuz just didn't do it for Vista). Have you run the Vista assessment test - available free thru Microsoft. I'm sure it runs XP great but you are now competing with new machines running Vista.

Have been in Korea for two years now and have bought and sold 7 laptops - I'm guessing ( and i may be way out here but should bring 700-800. But run the Vista assessment - if you get a score of three or better should bring 800 -- 900) BTW my friend in Canada just bought the same machine with AMD processor for 900.

I've nothing to say re: the computer, but good luck with the bike. They're expensive around here.

My family owns a Ford franchise but we all drive bikes - Huskavargna and Kawi(sp?) is the way we go we dirt race- - if u want i can check on sending one over; however i got a feeling the excise will be as much as the bike - friend of mine $100 CDN over but really the excise will kill you - havent seen many foreign bikes - saw a Gold Wing and a Shadow - a friend told me to go buy one in HKG and bring it over as used - I dunno he may be full of s... but i have seen two Bentleys here - talked to one owner - he was from HKG - might be looking into - if you want me to look into it [email protected]

How much are you asking for this laptop?

[Stu001]

Hi, would you take 600,000 KW for it? It's okay, no stress, please let me what you think. Thanks, Stu

Have an interested buyer willing to pay 800,000 for it but I won't sell it until I find my bike (unless of course I'm offered more) - proving to be a seemingly impossible task.
