How to sell your old computer
Out with the old...

OK, it's not quite spring, but if you start your Spring Cleaning now, you may just finish by July 4. Why not start by getting rid of that old Apple II SE that's taking up valuable space in the bottom of your closet?

Hold on. Think twice before lugging your machine to the curb for trash pick up, or transforming it into a fish tank, because someone, somewhere can make use of your formerly expensive computer.

The Net is a great place for you to hock that ol' over-sized calculator. With hundreds of online classifieds, what better place to advertise your techno wares than the communal space of computer users? You can note it in the New York Times, post it in The Palm Beach Post, or announce it in the Anchorage Daily News.

If Spring Cleaning makes you feel frugal, you don't even have to pay for your for-sale notice. You can post it in a likely newsgroup or try specialized Web message boards based in, say, New Zealand. Just think, news of your Apple II SE across the planet!

Soon you'll be counting the dollars from your quick-n-easy sale made over the Net. So dig that hunk of hardware out of the closet and blast the years of dust away. It's time your old computer had a new home.
