Hey guys I have some computer stuff id like to sell. Can You tell me what the fair market price would be right now ? I dont want to rip anyone off, but i dont want to give it away for free either. Here is what i have (I dont want to part anything out):

Item 1: Dell Laptop (Vostro 1500)

Rather than speculate on prices, I would recommend that you comparison shop on ebay to get the "going" rate on your used equipment.

I took a quick peek and the Vostro 1500's were in the $350-$550 price range.

With the Dell laptop, you can also cross reference the Dell Outlet store for additional pricing information.

Once again, I took a peek and they didn't have the 1500. They have the 1510's starting at $470...not exact, but gives you an idea.

As a last resort, you can always check craigslist prices, but obviously that would be your least reliable option.

I saw a 1520 for $619 , but it had "scratch and dent" damage and an inferior video card (128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS). Will have to wait for more input from people.

I agree with ibleet - ebay is a very good way to see what something will actually sell for. Just because it might be worth $800 doesnt mean you will actually be able to sell it for that price!

Also, most people dont look for anything other than a built in video card on a laptop unless they are a gamer - from my personal experiences anyway.
