I paid about $1,600 for my Dell laptop last November off of Ebay and it was retailing for $1,800 (has dvd burner and and so forth making it more expensive). I got a great deal on a Toshiba satellite so now I would like ot sell the Dell laptop if I can get enough out of it. If the laptops are going for this cheap then one would be crazy to not consider selling their old one and buying a new one if they can afford it. This could also drive the prices down on laptops if there are deals going on and a lot of used ones being available for sale.
