Question Should I Buy?

OK, I found A PC Desktop for 25$ at a Goodwill (May not know what that is)and was wanting to know if I should Buy it or not. I now that it would either have Windows 95,98,ME,2000, or XP SP1 (I think it has Windows 98SE) So, Should I? Thanks!

Well.. I would have to know more about whats in it. (Intel Pentium II, 128MB RAM etc etc) Before I could make a recommendation. Depends on how you want to look at it. It could be a good system to tinker with, but not to use as a primary machine.

Do you need it?
If you're taking to re-sell for profit, then maybe, you can expect anywhere around $50 for a Win98 PC on ebay if you're lucky...that's how much I got for the one I sold there

Agreed-more information would help. Are you thinking of using this as your primary PC? If so I wouldn't recommend it. Ultimately I wouldn't recommend this at all. You have no idea if the computer has issues or if it is even stable. Also considering this is a resale shop there would be no returns correct?
