Old Laptops for sale

I have two old laptops that I would like to get rid of now, as I have no more use for them.

They're both Compaq Laptops, one is an Armada, the other is an Evo. They are pretty low spec, I'm talking Celeron processor and 56 MB RAM and Pentium III processor and 128 MB RAM respectively. They would be ideal for someone who is good at revamping old computers, using them as slave drives, or some other sort of guinea pig device.

I'd like to give them away for £75 each or £120 together. Payment would be via paypal. If you're interested or would like to make an offer PM me or reply on here.

Cheers

Hey, could i buy one for 10 dollars?

Also, do they have windows 98, or sooner?

I assume you are in the States mate (cos you say 'dollars'). Well I am in the UK, and even if I sold one to you at that price, you would pay quite a bit more for shipping I imagine.

And to answer your question, the Pentium III/128MB RAM machine still has Windows 98 I believe.

How much would you estimate shipping to the US to be? Would they be worth paying the extra in shipping?

Try thinking for a change, how likely is this still for sale?

It's alright Salem. To be honest the machines are just sat cushioned doing nothing. Just don't believe in binning some electrical applicances, or it would have been in the skip ages ago.

And to answer your question AC, postage to the US would cost upwards of £40. If you were only willing to pay $10 for a laptop then the answer is 'no, it's not worth it'.

Do you mean pounds? I can't deal in dollars as I'm in the UK like you (apparently) are!

I've just had a look and I didn't see any for similar specs at that price, they were about £100.

But to be honest I don't mind selling the Evo for about £55, think that's a bargain-and-a-half if I'll be honest.

How are you doing?
I was just browsing through the Classified site (Daniweb). I would like to buy your lovely item for my cousin whom was posted to West Africa on a training course on Environmental pollution. I want to know if this lovely item is till available for sales. I am willing to offer you $200 for the item, including shipping cost via USPS Express Mail to west Africa. Will be paying you through PayPal because it's the safest way to pay online. Hope to hear from you imminent.
Best Regards reply me at {kory.cheesbro@yahoo.com}
Hope to hear from you there soon.
Thanks.
