How much is my computer worth?

I'm thinking of selling it and I'm curious as to what a fair price for it would be.
I have a HP Pavilion ZV5000 laptop that was purchased about a year and a half ago. It is a Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz with 512 meg of ram (128 of that is used by the ATI 9000 IGP graphics card). It has a CD burner and a 60 gig Hard Drive. It also comes with a case.

Jesus Christ. What a kick to the nuts. I was hoping it was worth about 800-ish.

See I'd go higher. Between 700-800. Because I think that laptop new would still run over a grand.

A new laptop for a grand would get you a dual core processor, a real graphics card and a dvd burner.

Randalflagg - you are less paranoid than you should be.
Under no circumstances should you EVER sell a Harddrive which you used for anywhere sensitive activities (like posting here)
If you format a harddrive it is not empty. Data can be retrieved.
Your harddrives come with you, or you render them unreadable. Not a few people have been fucked over by a buyer (lawman or conman) retrieving data and using that against its former owner.
Convert it into an external drive or as a non-connected passive storage medium. But don't sell it.

You can make data unrecoverable pretty easily.
Format, overwrite, format, give it a once-over with a small neodymium magnet, format, overwrite, format
rinse and repeat

I wouldn't take less than $500 + shipping. You could probably get up to $750 on eBay if you're lucky with your bidders. Bad time to sell a laptop though since the core duo just came out and depreciated all the single core stuff.
