I was outbid on this computer on Ebay. The seller said the high bidder didn't pay, and sent me a second chance offer. He will sell it to me for $176 plus $35 in shipping. Seller has decent feedback, only 120 but they are all positive. I really do want the laptop computer and need a new one. Still money is tight, so I thought I would ask all you computer experts if it looks like a good deal.

I can't read all caps. Anyway, I prefer Acer or Lenovo. Just make sure Toshiba is real. Trust the buyer not immediately.
Can you provide laptop specification. Such as:cpu,ram,hdd,....? without specification,it's hard to say anything
No, that's all the info I have. Just what was in his ad. It has got to be better than mine. I only have a computer purchased in mid to late 90's with windows me operating system. I am not even able to watch videos. Would probably be improvement over what I have. Edit: Oh wait, heres more... Processor Type: Intel Pentium III Processor Speed: 700 MHz Memory (RAM): 256 MB Hard Drive Capacity: 12 GB Screen Size: 14 inch Processor Type: Intel Pentium III Operating System: Windows XP Professional Processor Model: -- Primary Drive: CD-RW/DVD Combo
It looks like it maybe 4-5 years old. If your going to spend $200 you might as well add another $200 and get a new Dell or something from Best Buy that will last you longer then that computer.
