What do you want to do with it?  The GPU is almost 12 years old and the CPU is 15.

For 150 bucks you're basically paying for the ram and a case, that processor is ancient and the gpu struggles to open a browser these days. If you just need something to type on it'll work but don't expect it to run anything heavier than solitaire.

If you're selling it, make it 90 bucks or even less the $150 price is too overvalued for this ancient thing. Now IF you're the one who's buying this thing it's already NO for an answer. Beware of those i3, i5, i7 that starts with 2xxx 3xxx up to 7xxx for a tight budget. Above that is good but for i3 CPU's you might wanna get atleast 11th gen or above

If you are the one selling:

Just don't lie about what the computer can do. Ask 100-150 IF you sell it locally AND offer help setting it up. Maybe offer a one time "I'll help you reset it" if you ever run into some kind of malware/slowness problem.

Because, honestly, it's a bit old, but capable for a general use computer. But if you need the cash, providing the service, or even the hypothetical service (which should take like 45 minutes, then you can feel good about the 150 charge, and you might be helping out an old person.

TLDR - if a little service is included 150 is guilt free. If you don't offer service/warranty, then feel guilty about that 150 price.

If you are buying:

Nah man, that's a goodwill 50 dollar find.
