How to tell if this laptop works?

[greenblobo9]

I got 2 laptops today from 2006, the hardrives are taken out but they once belonged to western carolina university. I was wondering, they seem absolutely perfect and they turn on at least to the boot screen but since there is no hardrive I can't check everything. If I sold these on ebay would I put it as "as is" or "working". What should be some things to check to make sure they are working since I have no hardrive? They are not broken they are just outdated hardware the college was selling cheap.
