    $50 seems to be about what a large portion of used laptops on ebay go for, so whether that’s a good deal would depend on how nice a laptop it is

      50AUD, so ~25USD. I think it’s a good deal, given your looking at 400AUD for something similar at officeworks. And shipping at a minimum is $50 to get it anywhere useful.

      But yeah, definitely not a “nice” laptop, it’s no macbook or surface.

        Ok that does sound like a good deal, if it’s comparable to something sold new I’m guessing it at least has 8gb of ram, and therefore better than the other stuff available at that price. But yeah, still, I think there is just more supply than buyers in general. I was looking at stats on the sell through rate for a lot of cheaper used laptops the other week and it’s often extremely low.
