The best overall estimates of a used computer’s value are obtained by applying multiple valuation methods and selecting the most reasonable market value for the computer system. Use the sales price to determine a used computer’s value. Take the original sales price and prorate the value of the usable life of the computer. For example, if you expect the computer to last three years in total, you can divide the sales price by 36 months to determine a cost per month. Subtract the current age of the computer in total months from 36 and multiple by the cost per period. This will provide a rough value for the remaining life of the computer.
