Consensus opinion please, which config would be more sellable ?

Ok I upgraded the Sony Viaio's 500 GB 7,200 rpm 3 GB/s primary drive to a 500 GB Sammy 850 Evo SSD.

This is just temperary , until my workstation arrives say in 3 or 4 weeks ( waiting for windows 10 ).
I slotted the old 500 GB HDD in a USB 3.0 caddy.

As this is awkward, I bought an ODD Caddy that converts the Blu Ray Drive bay into an HDD ( concept being to put the old HDD in there). And then spend £16 on a seperate USB 3.0 ODD caddy for the Blu Ray Read/Writer.

Thinking I wont get back the investment in the SDD, I thought of taking it out and putting it in the new workstation.

Hence I am i terested in your opinions regarding, which configuration would be more appealing to a buyer, and would they pay a little more for a small SSD? say 250 GB.

The options to resell are as follows:-

Config A:-
Put it all back as standard, i.e the 500 GB 7,200 HDD in the primary drive and reinstall the Blu Ray Drive in its Bay.
And provide the ODD converter caddy and the empty USB Blu Ray caddy. As extras.

Or
Ask £70 more for Config B:-
Namely Install a new £70 samsung 850 Evo 250 GB SSD in the Laptop's primary drive bay, and leave the 500GB 7,200 HDD in the ODD bay, and provide the buyer with a seperate USB Blu Ray Drive.

Or Ask £130 more for Config C :-
and leave the 500 GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD in the primary bay and the and leave the 500GB 7,200 HDD in the ODD bay, and provide the buyer with a seperate USB Blu Ray Drive in the caddy.

Any ideas what one could ask for it ?
Is £550 with the new 250GB SSD or £500 without it reasonable ? Too much? Any ideas what I could sell it for.
My figure of £500 was purely based on seeing one on Ebay, go for £500 and that was only didn't have the Blu Ray writer or the backlit keyboard. And was not perfect.

Any views appreciated.

It has been my experience selling used computers and electronics that you will usually only get 33-50% of what you paid new(more if close to new). Personally I would put it back to original configuration and include the caddies as bonus parts. List it for about 60% of new to start, you always want room to negotiate and get the price you want. If there is no interest lower to 50%. If you don't need the money you can always hold out, usually a buyer will eventually come along unless the price is unreasonable.

Thanks,
I was leaning toward that school of thought. Just thought it would eb interesting to see what others thought.
So thanks for your viewpoint.

I'd keep the SSD, maybe use it as "hot" storage for files you're activity working on but don't want to store on the boot SSD or a slower storage drive, once you get your computer.

If you are selling to the general public the more original your configuration the better. Upgrades and hacks require the purchaser to have faith in your upgrades and see value in them.

Pretty much my plan.
Due to a tight budget. I discovered one can specify the 128 GB SSD on the custom build workstation for almost the same price as they charge for the 3.5" to 2.5" SATA Bay caddy. So I ordered 2.
Plan is to run one , just for the OS, and then buy an Intel 750 PCIe SSD 400 GB - to load Photoshop and DPP4 and the current work. And then
put this 500 GB into the workstation as a place to quickly copy the current few jobs. Not decided where to put the other 128GB drive or actuallly how one hooks it up, I am hoping its quite simple to buy a very basic caddy and another Sata cable. That would give me one 128 SSD to run the OS and 1028 GB of SSD storage . Definitely enough for starting out.

Or if the second hand price is good, then maybe use one of the 128GB drives as an OS drive in the laptop.
But I have a sneaky suspicion second hand prices will be awful and its best to install the other 128 GB in the new workstation.

I can see that logic. And thanks for the opinion.
