I'm selling my nearly brand new sony widescreen laptop. Best route???
In late September of so this year I bought a really nice Sony widescreen laptop. It's a great laptop but as it turns out it's too big and cumbersome for frequent travel. So we decided to sell it and buy a smaller notebook.

Unfortunately I didn't save the box or anything, because I never planned to sell it.

In fact I don't really know the best route to take to sell it.

Should I go Craig's List? Ebay? Is there a better option?????

I know I'll take a loss on the darn thing - I guess an expensive lesson.

1. some manufacturers take trade-ins...
I don't know if you'll regain more or less of your capital that way though

4. Am I allowed to say? I wasn't trying to use DU Lounge as a sales board.
ACK!

I hate trying to sell things!

7. I know what you mean...
...if you go the eBay route, make sure you check the feedback ratings of your prospective buyers. It's a pretty good indicator of whether someone's trying to take you for a ride.

Good luck!

5. ebay
They have the most viewers. I personally buy off of craig's list all the time because I have no competition. Good luck.
