Used Laptop Computers

How can companies that sell used laptops sell their products for more than Walmart charges for a new one?

When you find a good used one, it lists for $599 or higher. Walmart sells new ones, with Vista for $400 - $600 bucks. Is there anywhere you can get a good, quality laptop, that's both affordable, and good?

1. I am not sure which question you want me to answer. What are you looking for?
2. Walmart sells very basic laptops. The hardware doesn't cost a lot, and since they're a big retailer, the volume shipment cuts down some of the price. Your used laptops are probably good ones that are outdated. Or someone is trying to make a profit.
3. A good second hand machine is going to hold a high price. Especially now you can no longer buy a new XP machine, where the others may offer this. These prices will normally include some kind of warranty and maybe even some support. You are better looking for a slightly lower spec new machine. Also do NOT fall for the fraudulent links posted by people like Irena C, these sites will have you breaking laws by giving other people's information, fraudulently clicking links that are meant to be visited by the public, probably sell you things you do not want, set you up for masses of spam and then do NOT give a laptop. Let us all report this fraudulent link wherever we see it before she catches anybody.
4. I have looked at Wal-mart computers laptops and desktops and I can tell you that they are of poor quality. For example I was looking at one computer that had a front side bus of 800 MHz but the ram stick they had on the computer was 233 MHz sick which effectively slows down the computer HOW TO SAVE: You can choose bare bone laptops or look for rebates my mother got her laptop so cheap from Comp USA. here is a site with rebates http://www.notebookreview.com/deals/ here is one bare bone site http://www.xoticpc.com/custom-gaming-latops-tablets-barebone-laptops-c-95_51_174.html * one guy disagreed with Microsoft's EULA (end-user license agreements) and sent the copy of xp to dell telling them that he was using Linux and was not going to use xp. so they gave him $99 back. *TAKE PICTURES OF YOU DISAGREEING WITH THE TERMS IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THIS WINDOW BY WINDOW. To save more money Try using LINUX instead of windows. if you want to play games you can use an emulator there is one called CEDEGA.
