As I diver when I decide to sell off a used computer, reg, or whatever. I look at what I am wanting to purchase to replace it. Plus you have to consider what someone can get a new one for. So what you will find is that the value hasn't really changed it is the perception. Why would you buy a computer with 300 dives for the same price of a new one? It works, but it is after all USED. The biggest thing is you want to make sure any electronic you buy has not been flooded.
