    twiddybird the Predator Helios Neo 16 PHN16-71-73LT Gaming Laptop brand new from Acer sold for $1,549.99 so anything say 60% $925.00 to 70% $1120.00 of its new price is a reasonable sale price, if your laptop is in pristine condition and your laptop has been upgraded to 32GB ram and also has a better M.2 SSD drive like the Samsung 990 Pro + Heatsink its more likely to fetch the top selling price. DO NOT auction your laptop as people that bid on auctions want a bargain and will never ever pay the proper value price of this laptop, so be aware of this, as in 90% of cases you will get 30% or less putting this laptop in an auction.

    Its best to look at eBay in your neck of the woods and see what these laptops are selling for “Used or so called refurbished or even new if there are some around” but be aware that eBay are going to charge you for the advertising + sale charges + their shipping label which imo is a humongous and up to 60% of what the sale + shipping price combined that you sold this laptop with them for, so I don’t recommend using eBay.

    Use facebook marketplace or any other cheaper places that you can sell this laptop on, as eBay are far too expensive and they rip you off, I got caught out selling an expensive item through eBay just recently and that is what I was charged, never again. Good luck and hope this helps you out.

    yes to all the upgrades you talked about. I was thinking around $900 should be good. I thank you for the information. I have a factory usb setup drive. so it will be just like new when the person gets it but the windows updates will take place. plus it has a geek squad contract on for this year and next. I can transfer it too. that should add some value to it.

    thanks again.

    Before you sell the laptop you need reset Win-11 completely by going to Setting > System > Recovery > Reset this PC > Remove everything in the blue screen that comes up, as this removes all your folders and settings and the new buyer/user of your laptop will need to reset Win-11 to their name and activate the digital Win-11 license with their Microsoft account and all your information will be erased. This is what you do when you sell a PC. Good luck.
