    Its an Asus G51VX and i've had it for 1.5 years but its in a very good condition. I can't find any going for sale online so i'm hoping I can get some estimate prices. Windows 7 64bit, Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2Ghz, 4GB RAM, GeForce GTX 260M w/ 1GB.

    From what I'm seeing, when it came out it was value for money as a gaming laptop.
    However these days most of your components come in cheaper laptops for £300+ apart from the graphics card.

    I would say around £200, maybe more.

    I don't know how you can make those guesses.

    I think the OP is missing so much information that there is no way to make a real evaluation:
    - Do you still have the original manual and packaging?
    - Do you still have the original battery? If you don't, is it a genuine Asus battery or is it a third battery?
    - Whats the battery life like?
    - Is Windows 7 the original OS? Is it genuine?
    - Any dead pixels on the screen?
    - Any scratches/dents/cosmetic blemishes?
    - Does it still have any warranty left?
    - Has this laptop been upgraded or is this the original spec?
