    I realize this isn't a market place, and I'm not trying to advertise here. I'm genuinely curious where the best place to sell would be, and what price you think I should ask for it.

    I have an m15x with
    Intel Core i7-820QM Processor
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850
    Memory 8192 MB

    Still in great condition. Only visible flaw is one of the bumpers fell off the top panel that helps keep the lid from closing all the way on the screen. Doesn't really matter because I always kept a cloth between anyway.

    Edit: Just in case anyone is curious as to why I would sell such a great laptop. I built my dream PC and already have another gaming laptop, and quite frankly I can just get more out of this one than the Asus. :)

    Most are going for around that price if it looks good maybe 1200 or so.

    I've bought two of these in the last two months with roughly the same setup, but 4GB memory, and only 1600x900 screen (if yours is HD). One for $750.00 (i7 720QM) and the other for $780.00 (i7 820QM). Both had 320GB hard drives.

    It depends on how quick you want to sell, and where you list it. It will likely bring the most money on eBay, probably a mid-level amount on Craigslist, and based on what I've seen here, the lowest. Just my opinion, as always, take it or leave it :D

    Edit, FYI: Both mine were purchased on Craigslist.
