Neville Challinger said Collingwood Computer Swap Meet is good for trustworthy second-hand laptops

If you can brave the stench of the computer swap meet you can usually pick up some fair-priced deals on older computer hardware. The swap meets occur on Sundays at various town halls around Melbourne. Check the Age green guide for where upcoming weeks will be.
Closest to Abbotsford is the swap meet that happens at Collingwood Town Hall.

Neville Challinger said Notebooks R Us is awful for trustworthy second-hand laptops

253 Victoria Street, Abbotsford, 3067, VIC, Australia

Notebooks R Us is grossly overpriced in my experience, I was in the market for a new laptop and found one at Notebooks R Us which I liked. Then I found the identical laptop – down to the last detail – for more than $1200 less at cworld – less than a block away.
I would guess that this inflated price issue stretches to used laptops but I cannot confirm.
