Because people simply don't do research before they decide to buy a computer. In 99% of cases, it's more economical to buy a brand-new computer than a used one. People who sell their used computers are unaware how much their system has actually depreciated since they bought it, and so will overvalue it. It's unfortunate that people are willing to pay so much for old, outdated computers. I can get a brand-new P1000 with those same specs, except with a better hard drive for about @1200.00 - Drew
