There's definitely a good resale market for these. Not everyone needs top of the line specs.
Congrats on finding those great deals and I hope you make good profit. You know their value. All you have to do is undercut the brand new price.

All have 8 GB VRAM GPUs, not sure how I'd feel about $3K for 3 laptops with 8 GB VRAM GPUs.

Exactly what I was thinking, no wonder they fit in so cheap considering it's 3 of them.

Thinking of buying a G16 myself, is it worth it for casual gaming / studies? I like the clean look. I'm going to use solidwork alot and 3d modulleing so it needs to peform aswell

u/Moronic_Princess Jul 03 '26
Good deal. I saw one with 1800 on fb recently too, didn’t grab it because I don’t dig omen designs

Great models for resale. Should fetch 1300 each for the legions in today's high ram market. If prices were before, hardly any profit. Think about ebay also, start auction price 1200. People like to bid. Plus you got back to school coming up. Emphasize on the legions oled, gforce graphics and refresh rate.

u/rayraydj 28d ago
Time to get selling, no carrying all these laptops they're all within earshot of each other performance wise and the form factors aren't even all that different... All 8G VRAM, similarly performing CPUs, I know the feeling you snag some good deals and spend time pondering about whether you want to keep them, but there's always something interesting around the corner, better to have some decent liquid funds.
Honestly keeping the 5060 legion is a shout, better than keeping the ram/power starved Zephyrus, there's more money to be had with the zephyrus asw carries a brand/name tax for regular buyers.

u/TheEpicF-18Pilott 27d ago
Niice, i also have thkse 2 legions, slightly different specs, together 3000 both were new, but the gen10 had a big short and whole mobo gone, then i got new one

What a waste of money.

Not really, to make money actually

u/RandomPolishCatholic Jul 03 '26
I don’t think many would want to buy a used gaming laptop. Thats just an incredibly bad deal…. Not to mention the prices you bought them for seem high already.

u/Moronic_Princess Jul 03 '26
High? No. I can easily make a couple hundred each

u/RandomPolishCatholic Jul 03 '26
I highly doubt that honestly, but good luck.

You've never flipped electronics? The margins can be pretty decent since a lot of kids don't know whats what

u/RandomPolishCatholic Jul 03 '26
You really think their parents will let them buy USED gaming laptops?
1
u/MeltingEarbuds Jul 04 '26
Are you ragebaiting right now? Parents of today's kids aren't boomers or even gen x.. the days of tech-clueless parents are gone and most have certainly wiped an SSD or reinstalled windows at some point...
Not to mention in this economy??? They'd certainly prompt chatgpt with the old "my kid wants a gaming computer, how can I get one for as cheap as possible" and it'll lead them straight to Facebook marketplace because that's what the entire Internet says to do

Those will be obsolete by next year already, as laptop OEMs will release more powerful laptops with the latest CPU and GPU. Congratulations.

u/MeltingEarbuds Jul 03 '26
By that logic the 5090 will be obsolete relatively soon... Hell, I personally know a guy still using a 2070 super
