Dell Inspiron 17 1600x900, B950, DDR3 6GB, NVIDIA GeForce GTX, 500GB HDD
Does anyone have a ballpark idea of what this laptop would actually fetch on the market these days? It’s been my trusty companion for about five years now, though I should probably mention the battery is pretty much on its last legs—it barely holds a charge for thirty minutes before giving up on me. If I were to put it up for sale, I’d likely wipe it and install a fresh version of macOS just to make it presentable. Honestly, I haven't touched the internals once in all those five years, so there's a decent chance the thing is absolutely choked with dust by now. I was wondering how much a brand-new battery might bump the price, or if spending a little cash to have someone swap out the thermal paste and give it a deep cleaning—maybe around $33 if I can find a shop that won't rip me off—would actually make a difference to a potential buyer.
