My last sale of ebay didn't end well so I gave up. They quibbled over the year of manufacture V year of release for a seven year old computer. Get a life. I negotiated a 20% refund to get the case closed.
In general, if it's still working and I believe it has use left, I find ebay to be an amazing place to sell it. Some times, it sells for far greater value than it should, but from the names it apppears as if it's bought by people who can't otherwise afford any gadget. Definitely feels better than tossing it.
If it doesn't work, or is fully broken, I just toss it in the best buy recycle bin most of the times. Still have my broken Vaio Z (the original RAID0 beauty), if there's any takers I'll ship it for free!
