FS: Dell Laptop

[mseebs]

Selling my old laptop. This thing is 6 years old, so it's got some ware and tear but when we bought it was one of the better laptops out there. We paid $2,086 for this brand new.

This thing has every 'high' option that was available at the time.

Computer will be reformatted and all that junk before pick up. Buyer can test it out before hand to make sure it's not broke if you don't trust me.

 

Now that you're interested, here's all the bad stuff. As I said, this thing is 6 years old and has followed me through college, multiple apartments, driving over the road, and so on. I'll try to list everything I can think of.

 

The two pieces that adjust when you open or close the screen are loose (maybe broke?). So if you have it in your lap and shake it a bit, the screen will move back and forth a bit. The laptop doesn't come apart or anything, just kind of annoying.

 

The laptop either has a broken fan in it or just needs a really good inside cleaning. It tends to overheat quite a bit, especially while playing videos which can start it to slow down a bit. I found using a laptop cooling pad helped fix the problem pretty well.

 

The battery is on its last leg. On 'high performance' mode, it'll last maybe 45 minutes or so. These laptops are known for the batteries being pieces of shit (this is my 3rd one) and the replacements are pricey. So I usually just left it plugged in.

 

The thing is kind of dirty. Theirs dust/crumbs/god knows what else in between some of the keys. Theirs brown dots on the right side (from bug spray oddly enough) and so on. I'll try to clean it to best of my ability before the buyer picks it up, but can't guarantee perfection.

 

Some parts are faded out a bit, stickers gone and so on. Typical stuff.

 

The CD drive doesn't work really well. Occasionally works flawless and sometimes won't read/burn CDs at all.

 

When you plug it in to charge, the charging cord has a tendency to pop out very easily.

 

Cruising between Ebay/Amazon I found these things seem to sell for about $300-$500 in decent condition. Most of these were bare bones versions.

 

I'm asking $200 cash OBO as a starting point. Will include laptop, charger, and anything else I can find relating to it. Located just outside of Canal Winchester Ohio (officially Lancaster). I can meet within a decent distance. I would prefer not to ship this.
