laptop price check please

[Brainchild]

I have a chance to buy a Compaq lappy,just wondering how much is too much,here's the specs

233mmx
64mb ram
3gig HDD
battery is good, comes with power cord,over all condition is excellent. The wife is wanting a lappy,just for word processing,and a little surfing,this will be fine for her.The modem is out of it also.What is a fair price for it?

Thanx

from google searches, similar systems are going for $250
i think that is too high though

sounds pretty high. Thanx though

a friend of mine has a compaq with those specs(bought in '99 i think)
runs win 98 and has a couple of "internet" buttons on the keyboard.
he has been very unhappy with it...because it came with a recovery cd, wich installed a huge amount of compaq-crap on his disk, killing the performance of the computer.
he vowed to never, ever again buy compaq...

$150 to $175 would be the max I would think.

JMHO

I would have said go as high as $200, but only if you have seen the lappy in action, and am happy with it. Otherwise, 150-175 is a good range.

Thanx guys,since I know the modem is gone, I think 100 -150 is going to be the max for me.Maybe I can swap a 233mmx desktop for it
