I own that laptop and I brought it brand new for 320$ from PCandParts.
i bought it for $326 , i serisouly berly used it... its like brand new.

you think $270 is too much?
200 is fair. You could sell it for 250$ to someone. It's great netbook, I use it everyday. Especially now since I don't have my game rig yet...

EDIT: Sorry, I tought you were selling it for 350$

But even for the tablet it's too much, because someone can just get a Nexus7 instead.

yeah your right maybe a $250 is a more fair price but i can count the times i have used it on one hand.
It doesn't matter how much you've used it. It's the fact that it's not from a retailer, it's unboxed, and that it has been used (Even if it's been used 1 time, that still counts as used)

Also, I'd sell that Acer tablet for 200-250$ aswell. Try posting them on Elmazad

When it's not being sold by a retailer, doubt automatically creeps up on the buyer. Even if it is boxed, you start suspecting that it might have been dropped or opened then resealed etc... If it is already open, you start suspecting that maybe it has a defect and you just want to get rid of it. If the price is low, people will suspect it is defective. If the price is high, people will think that you are either crazy, or trying to throw off suspicion from a defective product.

Search Wikipedia for "Market for lemons".

Here is main idea from the wiki article:
Akerlof's paper uses the market for used cars as an example of the problem of quality uncertainty. A used car is one in which ownership is transferred from one person to another, after a period of use by its first owner and its inevitable wear and tear. There are good used cars ("cherries") and defective used cars ("lemons"), normally as a consequence of several not-always-traceable variables such as the owner's driving style, quality and frequency of maintenance and accident history. Because many important mechanical parts and other elements are hidden from view and not easily accessible for inspection, the buyer of a car does not know beforehand whether it is a cherry or a lemon. So the buyer's best guess for a given car is that the car is of average quality; accordingly, he/she will be willing to pay for it only the price of a car of known average quality. This means that the owner of a carefully maintained, never-abused, good used car will be unable to get a high enough price to make selling that car worthwhile.

Therefore, owners of good cars will not place their cars on the used car market. The withdrawal of good cars reduces the average quality of cars on the market, causing buyers to revise downward their expectations for any given car. This, in turn, motivates the owners of moderately good cars not to sell, and so on. The result is that a market in which there is asymmetric information with respect to quality shows characteristics similar to those described by Gresham's Law: the bad drives out the good (although Gresham's Law applies to a different situation).
Yes you could be right, but that people won't buy the product if it's not at cheap. They'll just think of paying the difference of the price between a new one and get it with warranty instead with their heads worry free.
If it's too cheap, they will get more suspicious, for example if rtp sold the laptop for 100 -150$ people will get suspicious of it having a bad HDD or RAM or just think it's stolen. You have to find that "sweet spot" of the price to sell. A good tip I found to be useful is to always post the price a bit higher than what you're asking for. For example, I wanted 200$ for my old motherboard but I posted it for 250$ and when someone called they asked for a final price (They always do) and so I offered him 200$ and he was very satisfied with paying that price without arguing or negotiating.
ok thanks for the marketing tips, business is not my thing.

will keep those in mind

thanks a lot for the advise
