What is the worth of a second hand laptop in Australia?

The model is Toshiba Satellite L300. I've had it for about 2 years and am going to buy a new one because this one has a few annoying problems that I can't be bothered to fix.

Problem 1: Sometimes when I go to shut down the computer it remains in the 'logging off' stage eternally, so I just have to hold down the power button to make it shut down.
Problem 2: Windows explorer is freezing all the time. Only the start menu though. So it is annoying that a lot of the time I go to use the start menu I have to restart Windows Explorer. None of my windows restart though, just the start bar.
Problem 3: This isn't really bothersome to me, but would certainly reduce the value. I dropped my laptop a while back and the power cord insert hole is now not stuck in space and moves around slightly. It is always accessible, though. The part of the cord you stick in the hole is also bent, but still usable, and easily replaceable. Unbent cords still work (I tried one) fine too.
Problem 4: The webcam doesn't work properly. I can see myself moving in it when I put it on but it won't take a photo when I press the take photo button.

That is all I can think of right now. I have no idea if any of these problems are fixable or not. I'm not looking for advice on how to fix them either.

So, how much do you think I can pawn it off for?

Thanks!
