That GPU and CPU are 80% stronger than my PC and the PC costed 350 bucks 2 years ago.
I think that you can get a lot better PC with that 820 price tag.

This is about Laptops not Desktops since he has one

In case you somehow missed it, The OP wants a LAPTOP not a DESKTOP, he has also already mentioned he HAS A DESKTOP why would he need 2?

Yeah, he got ninja'd, he apologized since he forgot to read the OP. Now I feel like a pile of crap

To be fair, bro, you came into a thread where a user was asking which laptop to get, didn't read the first post, and then proceeded to ignore the topic entirely and talk about how gaming laptops are dumb (paraphrasing a bit, but yeah).

Gaming laptops are expensive, but not useless, especially in the case OP is describing. Please stay on topic.

I felt offended, won't lie but its ok lol

Btw if you want to get more info about Laptops you should go to Game Debate.
They have a forum there and lots of people who know A LOT about them.

And u can check each component of the PC there too, how much its strong and how would it work on them(Premium account gives u how much FPS ur gonna get iirc).

It may look like that but that wasn't my intention.
I'm Sorry if that offended u or anyone else who was reading it.
And i haven't forced him to get a PC nor anything, just wanted to say that PCs are better and cheaper than Laptops.

I don't want to keep this going in the topic, like u said lets say on topic.

Okay, in bit of a pickle. So some dude saw my ad on Craigslist and wants to pay me $700 plus the shipping costs, which I honestly did not expect someone to say. Here's the kicker, he wants to put the money into my PayPal. Should I ask him to put it in before I ship it out?

Don't take Paypal on craigslist. Thats' a big no no.

 

[calmwaters]

Don't take Paypal on craigslist. That's a big no no.

Then I'd definitely go for asking him to deposit it first. If he gives some sort of excuse, then don't sell it to him.

 

[the_randomizer]

So what do you suggest? I mean the amount he wants to pay is very generous. I suppose I can ask if he can't send a money order instead, as that would be quicker and safer IMHO. I mean after all, I didn't mention PayPal in the ad. PayPal is sketchy to me, is it even possible to get money online without having to wait twenty days to process it?

Then I'd definitely go for asking him to deposit it first. If he gives some sort of excuse, then don't sell it to him.

How would one go about, just have him transfer the money from his checking into mine somehow? If I can get the money first, then I can ship it out? Should I ask him if he can deposit it firsthand? I'll ask him if he can do that.

Edit: Sent email asking him about depositing without using PayPal. I don't want to get screwed over

Craigslist rule is to accept cash only, period. Don't accept money orders if they come in. Local deliveries are much safer, especially for goods like a computer. You will most likely want to (in the case of successful transaction) meet in a public location of your choosing, and have a friend lurk in the background as a safety precaution.

Damn, turns out the dude has a 757 area code, which is in Virginia, and I live in Utah, how the hell did he not see that? I would rather meet in a public place, like a nearby park or my apartment complex, but damn, that sucks. I guess I'll never be able to sell this, much less for the generous $700 he offered I should change my ad to say cash only, but should I also mention that I need to meet with said buyer too?

Yeah, you should. You might find someone closer who'll pay that.

Ah bugger, I feel like a fool for having replied to this Virginian dude. I didn't officially agree to anything, what about specifying meeting with people in the city/general area I live in? I should probably delete the ad I made on GBA temp too.

Edit: Changed to say cash only.

Yes, you very well should. And not to be that guy, but $700 for that laptop is far too much, and if it seems like too good a deal, it usually is.

Then how much would you suggest I sell it for (esp. if I throw in the laptop cooler)? I've seen people that sell it at this price on Amazon and eBay, and they were used, but like new. The thing is, I was hoping to sell this for X amount, and then pay for the new laptop, but without having to pay a huge difference if that makes any sense.

Ugh, what the hell's wrong with me?

I was a fool for thinking I could ever sell this, or for making a thread.
