If not there then where? I heard of places that sell laptops for 250 but I always wonder if they work. I could fix them to work, but what I really want is one that aready works. I just don't have 700 dollars for a brand new laptop (besides I need to buy a desktop and the one I need cost around 1200).
Anybody buy laptops from computer shops for less than 300? Don't need an OS, nor a dvd player. Just memory (512mb) usb ports and pcmcia ports for wireless cards.

Your timing may be just right as people are sure to be upgrading or even getting new laptops for Christmas and selling off their old models.
A friend found a laptop on Craigslist for $250 (it's spare of sorts for her mother). True, it's a Celeron, but she knows computers and she really checked this one out before buying it. So, you might want to try Craigs list.

I bought an HP Omnibook 4160 for $75 on Ebay. Works great.
I had one before but the hard drive eventually crashed so instead of buying a new harddrive, I bought the whole laptop.

For $300 you don't ask what is a good laptop you can get,you get any piece of crap you can find

A $300.00 laptop? You won't find it even in your City's junkyard! And even if you do find it, you wouldn't be able to upgrade it to something decent.
Your best bet would be to go to the shopping sites of any of the big ones and try to get a refurbished one. But don't go to eBay!!!
Good luck

call customer service of the big manufacturers and find out if they sell used laptops and what the prize ranges are

you can get a good refurbished laptop from dell,gateway.... people return them if they are broken and gateway will fix it and sell it as a used computer since its not new anymore and just take any price for it.
