No, sell it on eBay. No pawn shop will evr give you as much as eBay buyers will, believe me. I sold a Windows 95 laptop that I bought off eBay for £4 for £73 recently. Make sure your title includes the words "working" and "internet ready" to get most money. Contact me if you need any advice.

Personally, I wouldn't let a pawn shop even touch it! What many pawn shop owners actually do, is log on to eBay, find out the average selling price, or look it up in a special blue book, then give you about 20% of that price, so they can make a big profit off of you. I would try to sell it as a: "buy it now" item, rather than putting it up for auction. It may not bring you as much as you expected otherwise. I have won many computers on eBay for .99 cents, and I'm sure the seller wasn't too happy about.

pawn shops will give you next to nothing for pc's that arent new the best thing to do would be ebay or another auction site.
