You would be able to sell it here if you had enough post count, but to answer you original question, how much did you pay for it and how long ago did you get it?

One way to gauge a price is to google around for the item on sale elsewhere, be it eBAY, etc...

Search eBAY for the exact item, or a model with similar specs... For example; I recently came across a broken lappy for sale, and was considering, until I found that working, identical models were selling on eBAY for roughly the same asking price as the broken one. Factoring in that it probably needed a motherboard, it put the broken one well out of the reasonable price range.

Not an exact science, but it's one method to determine a "fair market" value.
