Great deal.
I’ll give you $10.
Dude! you got a Dell!
I just got a Dell reman for $135 and thought I did well. Damn... ;)
Did she clean the hard drive? Might be a fortune there!
LOL! And Linux installations are free...
$5!!
dang!!
It’s a Dell Inspiron 8500, with a Pentium 4 running at 2100 Mhz, has an 80GB hard drive, has USB 2.0,
...
Well, some people would consider that old and slow.
But $5 is a good deal. Glad you’re happy with it.
What a disappointment.......I thought you were going to say you found some of Hillary,s emails on it.
Decent of you to double back and pay the lady what it’s actually worth.
You did, didn’t you?
That the POS that burns a hole in your couch. Recalled. Buy all of them you want on Ebay for $60. Great find. /s
That model also has the same mobo as the Latitude D800. Maybe try Windows 7 and an SSD...
Great find! For a second there I thought you had found Hillary’s laptop.
Get outta here!
Nice score! I have an Inspiron B130 I bought new in ‘06 and in general I’ve been pretty happy with it.
You should have asked if her ex- had an old Porche or Corvette sitting out in the garage that she’d like to get rid of.
A few weeks ago, someone posted a Toshiba L675 on Facebook for $80.
Said it wouldn’t boot.
I took a chance and bought it. When I got it, I looked it over and it was like new. No scratches or marks on it anywhere. Still had the labels on the bottom of the keyboard.
I tinkered around and found that the keyboard had been disconnected. Fixed that, but the HD was shot.
Pulled an old HD out of the drawer, put it in, and installed Linux Mint on it.
It purrs like a kitten. Wireless works, DVD/Blu Ray works, graphics work, card reader works. Monitor is nice and bright. Even the battery will hold an hour and a half charge. Its almost as good as the laptop I currently have.
Now, I have two laptops. Don’t know what I’m going to do with the spare, but it was too good to pass up.
I once bought a really nice 8X32 E. Leitz binocular fro $12. This was at a pawn shop in Savannah. They had no idea that it was same as Leica.
Despite that, most pawn shops are mostly overpriced junk but if you keep looking you will find some good buys. I also got a Mitutoyo digital caliper for $10. Almost new in it’s case.
Two things I will never buy. Used underwear and used computers.
Did you found Hillary emails? May be it has a functioning 3.5” floppy drive. You lucky bastard, I can’t imagine what kind of programs you can now run. A great score indeed.
