Macbook Pro resale

What do you think its worth?

Macbook Pro.

Intel core duo 2ghz.

2gb ram.

100gb HD.

ATI 256mb graphics Mobility 2600.

2006 model.

Faults

- Airport wireless card is off/on

- peeling paint round the keyboard

- Battery needs replacing

only because I want to get a new unibody one (my HD is too small in the current!)

Just general thoughts on selling. Im ambitiously hoping $2000 AUD + (I bought it for $3999)

ebay? friend? other?... why cant apple just do trade ins =P

O_O I sure hope there's a significant difference between AUD and USD... because that's outrageous.

I can tell you how much I'd bargain for in USD, if it helps... maybe $1000

Phantom you suggested $1k which is quite good and levi i think you are asking price is high AUD 2000.

fyi, $1000 = AUD $1525 (as of today)

So what is $3999 AUD in USD? Sounds outrageous for those specs.

I think it used to be about half, but I haven't checked in a while, so haven't a clue what the economy has done to it.

of course it is... this was two years ago when Macbook Pro's first went intel!

mind you, MBP's are still pricey even with current specs. I think they're the most overpriced of all apple items. I mean look at the iMacs- I think they're great value for money.

There is no doubt that they are the best 15" laptop. Except maybe a dell (if you swing that way =P )

Edit- According to my dashboard widget on my MBP, $1000 USD now is = $1,521 AUD.

That's like... £800. For a 2 year old laptop? eeeeeeh I'll go elsewhere thanks :)

#516151

So it's like, a 1.8GHz Core Duo?

#516160

So it's like, a 1.8GHz Core Duo?

2ghz. read the first post ;)

#516175

I saw one on eBay go for $875 USD.

hmm im hoping i can do a local sale... bundle in some software (u know) and make it a good deal that way...

sell it to a struggling uni student, who needs a mac for design or something but cant afford a new one. Needs photoshop etc :P

#516199

local's all you're gonna get :P

I think that's a godo plan, put some ads in the paper, and so. ($2000 or best offer) because nobody will really pay that much :P
