Try this, Run the System restore CD, and advertise it as a third party referb or blemished model depending on the condition of the computer. You will probably get more than those other guys are telling you. 2+ GHZ and 1GB of ram brings in approx $1000 right now.
Try selling it on eBay with a reserve first. If it doesn't sell for your reserve you can always remove the reserve.

Well I was just going through a search on ebay with that model type. The highest I saw was $500 like new. It's almost not even worth selling. Like I have a piano that I got for 2000 that's not worth 300 now. It's worth more to me sitting in my living room, even if it is not used much. I would recommend using it as a backup perhaps. If you are getting a new computer, you could store backups of all your files on your laptop in case something happens to your new one. I would keep it, not worth it.

Not very much. Pentium 4 is old technology. HP computers are low end and poor quality probably at most get $1200 and realze next time you were ripped off for price

The question ought to be how little with my laptop go for. I bet you won't get any 4-figure offers, sorry. Used stuff goes cheap. Good stuff goes at a steal and the junk is always overpriced--and the buyer never knows which he is getting until after he's had it a while.
Sorry, but good luck selling it.

sorry to inform you, but you will not be able to get $2000 for a 4 year old computer.
you can get a new pavilion directly from hp, with a core duo processor, 1gb of ram, and 80 gb hard drive for under $1000.

You've got to be kidding!?
Second hand goods don't get great rates.
Try auctioning it on e-Bay and find out for yourself.
That's where you have the largest traffic and the chances of your getting the best bid are there.
All the best.

Find out here, you can trade it in for a value towards a purchase of a new computer. That's what I did. I got 625 dollars for my laptop.
