Your best bet would be to get some quotes for it... Perhaps take it to a second-hand electronics store, see what they are selling similar systems for... And then ask how much they'll buy yours for.

Somewhere in the middle of those two prices would be a decent bet.

But there's no hard and fast rule.

It all depends on what someone would be prepared to pay for it. There has been a huge price reduction on buying a good laptop over the last couple years. You might be disappointed with the price you can get. There is no set or standard depreciation for a laptop that I know of, it’s basically whatever you can get for it.

You might consider looking at selling it at one of the online auction sites, like eBay or something similar. Or at least you can look at prices that are being bid there. Post the specs of your system here and see if anyone has any idea’s on what its worth. I doubt you will get anymore then 40% or 50% of what you paid for it, its better now a days to buy a new one and get the warranty.

You are absolutely dreaming, even half that and I doubt you'd get any buyers.
