I found a 2012 macbook air 128gb ssd 4gb ram with original box for $800 battery has 125 cycles on it...should i pull the trigger? its from a trusted source with a 30 day warranty...so i dont mind paying a *little for peace of mind...

Why not keep an eye here as you would get a full year of warranty

Check a few times a day as the inventory changes.
I feel you can get a better price elsewhere
Keep in mind that the mid 2012 models with the 128GB toshiba/sandforce ssd have been an issue, Apple is replacing them

Definitely keep looking. The way I search eBay is go to newly listed buy it now auctions that have a best offer option. This means someone just listed it and may be eager to sell the item. Just a couple weeks ago, I scored a 2012 with the 256gb ssd 8gb of ram. 9 cycles on the battery, 3 years of apple care (good till February 2016) for 700 plus 30 shipping. The refurb model you are talking about in your op is 850 refurbished on apple.com
