Where to buy used laptops?

I'm looking for a decent used laptop for a friend. She can spend up to $300, and I'm looking for something in the P3 450 - 550MHz range. Preferred brand would be Dell Inspiron. I've been looking at some on eBay, but I'm always just a bit hesitant to buy expensive electronics on eBay, for obvious reasons.

How about your friendly For Sale/For Trade forums?

I'd gladly do that, but selection there is extremely limited, and none fits the bill.

Wow. I found something on Craigslist that looks pretty good. Now if only he's willing to ship it...

Well, turns out the computer I was looking at on craigslist.com was a desktop, not a laptop.

And there's none that fit the bill on half.com.

Don't worry about buying on Ebay.... They have a great seller/buyer protection program. Also give a look at Ubid.com maybe you might find what you need!

Yeah, I know all about their "great seller/buyer protection program". I've bought stuff off of eBay more than once. There's also all kinds of stuff they can't protect you from, even if they wanted to. Like a laptop that craps out two months after purchase.
