HI. I bought a Macbook Pro Last year and I dropped it (in its case, fell on the zipper). It works fine, but the hard drive could go out at any time (I am told) and I cried :(. Their is a small zipper dent in the front where the hard drive is located on the left. It does not keep a charge. The guys at mac said nothing else is wrong with it and they checked the battery. I decided to buy a new computer and was told someone techy might want it because to fix it yourself wouldn't cost much. It has been working for almost a year with an external hardrive and always pluged in. I have no idea what to charge for it. The stats are below. Any advice would be great! Right now I posted it on craigslist for $800.

I would think you would be very lucky to get 800... I'd say more like 4-500

Is this outside the current Marketplace Rules or just the July 1st rules?

Until members qualify for the MacRumors Marketplace, they should use other websites to buy, sell, or trade. We also consider it inappropriate for members to start "Thinking of selling, how much should I charge?" threads outside the Marketplace forum, because these threads too often become (or are intended as) "for sale" threads.

$450 - $600. The Core Duos aren't worth much these days unfortunately :(

It is also outside the current forum rules:

Selling outside the Marketplace. All threads offering items for sale or trade, asking to buy items, or asking for pricing advice on items to be sold must be posted in the Marketplace forum and are subject to the Marketplace Rules. Members not eligible for the Marketplace forum may not start threads for such purposes.
