I was at a pawn shop a couple weeks ago and I asked the head guy there where their laptops were. He said that he keeps them in the back. I asked him why he didn't have them displayed for people to see. He replied that he just puts them up on eBay. He was more than willing to show me a few of the good ones. This one he showed me was easily a $2500 laptop. It was sweet. It had a widescreen display and looked brand new. I almost bought it for $800 right then and there, but didn't.
Moral of the story: If you want a real deal on a laptop, go to a pawn shop. If they don't have any on display, ask.
