Intel E7200

[Loman]

Hi everyone.
I need some help again.

i have bought a Intel E7200 for a friend (11 months ago) and now he needs his money back.

It hasn't been opened. everything is just as it was 11 months ago.
Since i couldn't find any site that has the 7200 still in stock i don't have a clue how much it is worth.

I'm definitely not going to refund him the R 1426.80 since it is no longer worth that much.
Luckily I have someone who want to buy it but i need to know its value first.
Can anyone give me a rough estimate?

Thanks

well, I'd suggest you pay the1426 lol, pricecheck is showing it as a tad bit more.

Hell NO.

For that price i can get a much better cpu.
E7400, E7500, E7600 and Q8200 is all below R 1420.

I'd say its got a 30 - 45 % depreciation.
Take a processor from the same month and if you're lucky its still available today then the price would be 30 - 45% lower.

Asking me to pay the same price is just stupid. Would you REALLY pay that much for it?? Come on, be honest.

I was figuring on R 600 - 800. But since i don't want to screw the guy. i'll ask once again - what is your opinion?

You just proved to me why i shouldn't buy anything at online shops selling second hand goods.

I'd say its got a 30 - 45 % depreciation.

Funny when it comes to this sort of thing. It depreciates until it becomes legacy - then it costs at least twice as much as the heyday price

Perhaps with cars it is. The same is Not true with PC's
Would you buy a Pentium II and how much do you think that would cost??

[twinscythe12332]

whoops, the picture is looking surprising dodgy actually. it seems to be included in something. yeah, I'm going to agree with you.
we'll look at 2 products...
E7400 just CPU

E7400 funky same box

it's about 24% difference. so similar pricing to the E7400. I'd say if it's still boxed, but warranty is gone, then that's going to pound the price. I'd say going towards the 850-900 range (dropping it off by 26%).

I guess that proves to me someone over there needs to get fired. that isn't just the CPU.

Thanx
Sahara has the 7400 for R 980.
And 8 months ago the 7200 was also 9XX just before it went off the market.

PriceCheck is insane!!!

Thanks for the help tho.
