My sister got married and moved to a small apartment. They decided that they didn't need two laptops (neither are very techies). Since she knew I wanted one, she gave hers to me. About 4 months later, in April, her husband's laptop was having problems, so she wanted to switch with me (his has better specs). So when I came up there, I brought her laptop, gave it to her, and took his home. I was able to fix some of the problems but not all.
In August, I was getting a new laptop, so I didn't need his laptop anymore. At the time I also had a futon of his, which wouldn't fit in my new apartment (or theirs, for that matter), so I sold it on craigslist and sent him the money -- because I had originally asked for it. I asked him if he also wanted the laptop back, and he said that he didn't want it (he had since bought a new MacBook). It sat on my shelf for the whole semester.
This month, I brought it to Dallas (I'm in Atlanta), intending to load some software on it that they could use (Slingbox). He said "I'm not lugging that thing back to NY" and pointed out that they now have Slingplayer for Mac, and he has wireless on his MacBook.
Therefore, this laptop is useless. Rather than wait for it to completely lose value, I'm going to sell it on craigslist/ebay..should I offer him some/all of the money? My mother says by twice denying taking it from me when I offered, its mine, and I get to keep it. He of course is too lazy to go about selling it himself, even though he's unemployed (long story)..
