fucking pawn shop
guest94:
AFAIK I know with Windoze, if you got it with the PC, you can sell the PC with Windoze, and you aren't supposed to install it on any other computers (of course, XPee enforces this). If you bought the crap separately, you can sell it however you like. If you got a pirated corporate version, well, then you can't sell it you should just be quiet, that shop owner looks like the kinda guy that'd love to squeal to M$ on ya. He won't take the computer 'naked' (i.e., with no OS), will he? If he was reputable, that's the only deal he'd settle for in case of any licence shit. Then he'd get a new licence from M$, or put a desktop Linux distribution on it for $0. But if this is a pawn shop, why does he give such a shit about what OS is on it?

Classified ads. I'd buy it for $450 if I had the money to spend, especially if it's faster than a PII.

Because it's a pawn shop. He has to be able to sell it. Perhaps hes' got some thing against Linux?
Calum:
sell it on eBay.
I sold my laptop on eBay, i simply didn't mention what system it had on it (although i did say it comes with a CD of drivers for all modern versions of windows) - when the guy bought it he found it had 4 linuxes, one FreeBSD and FreeDOS on it and he emailed me in a fit complaining he didn't know any of the passwords! i had to tell him how to get a bootdisk so he could fdisk all my partitions away (and who knows, maybe he's happily XPing away to this day!)

i've tried ebay, the first time i set it to $400... i got 40 looks and no bids. the second time i set the price to 1 penny and the reserve to 400... it got up to $381. It's worth a lot more than that, and I need at least $400... actually, i need $430 now to cover those ebay fees.
edit:
Ebay Listing
less than a day left on this one, i figured if i could get that $381 i would survive.
