    depends on the parts inside it and what software comes with it.

    take the averave price of the laptop second hand in working condition.subtract the costs of replacing the HDD.make sure you have the original software(windows) to go with it and you should get a rough idea.

    If he did that, the thing would sell for about $20.

    nobody buys these things used.. there are stacks of them all over ebay fully working for around the £70 mark.. people are still trying for stupid money for the (worthless botched up) alienware ones.. again the trouble is.. precisely which model/make is it? .. most likely a mitak or toshiba with a skin on ;)

    If somebody actually has an interest in it then ask about $100 and look at his face.. that's a fair price for the screen and mobo.. depending on the precise chipset etc... windows is worthless.. a license is not transferable and will need a complete new install anyway on a new hdd ..
