It has been hallowed by many hours of Board research. Help me pay my tuition!

Oooooo. I'm pretty sure that's a collectible item!

I'm not sure what other people look for in computer ads, but if I were looking for a laptop there are a few more things I'd find helpful in an ad like yours. It's totally up to you, of course, but you might consider including what OS is installed (even though it's a pretty good assumption that it's XP), what processor it has, and any CDs/DVDs it comes with (especially if you have the original Windows installation discs, or alternatively some sort of "system restore" discs from the manufacturer). The measurements of the screen (14.1", 15.4", etc.) would also be good.

And just to be safe, you'll want to make sure to wipe it clean and re-install Windows before selling it.
