eBay and its third party merchants cut up to 69% off a selection of new and refurbished laptops, desktops, monitors, and hard drives during its Computers Super Frenzy Sale. (Discounted prices are as marked on the product pages.) Plus, all items qualify for free shipping. That's the first such sale we've seen on computers from eBay, and it yields many price lows. Shop for brands like Apple, Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo, ASUS, and HP.

For a best bet, Toshiba via eBay offers the factory-refurbished, 5-lb. Toshiba Satellite S955-S5373 Intel Ivy Bridge Core i5 1.7GHz 15.6" LED-Backlit Laptop (pictured), model no. PSKGGU-01700KB, for $459 with free shipping. That's the lowest total price we could find for a refurb by $76. It features an Intel Ivy Bridge Core i5-3317U 1.7GHz dual-core processor, 15.6" 1366x768 LED-backlit LCD, 8GB RAM, 1TB hard drive, DVD burner, 802.11n wireless, webcam, 4-cell battery, and Windows 8.
