Not a huge amount... have a look on eBay for recent completed auctions. I'd be surprised if over $300.

You must be joking... This would be like $1200-1500 new from Dell with a good coupon.

You'd look like a huge douche if you offered $300, and he'd laugh in your face (unless he stole it).

If there's a warranty and stuff, you could pay more. This is a good laptop. Buy it for under $1k (offer him 750 or so to start), get 2gb of RAM from newegg for $200, and be happy.

I configured a 9300 with the same specs (except for a 1.73 Centrino instead of a 1.6) and the price was 2100 with no coupons and no warranty.

I know it's used, but damn, it's far from shitty.
