Ok so I have a macbook and my spilled water on the keyboard and it stopped working for a while so I just bought a new one. Well I kinda need money now so I thought about selling my old one on craiglist or ebay or something. I took it to the Apple store the other day and he said it would cost $750 to repair? I was like :confused: I didn't even know the computer costed that much(I had my dad's assistant pick it up for me). Its a little scratched and other than it needing to be fixed, it turns on and works for a little while when its plugged in.
So how much could I sell it for?

Don't use bright green text on a white background.

And don't post items for sale here because you're not allowed.
The following forums have a minimum post count requirement:
Marketplace
Politics, Religion, Social Issues
Only users with a history of 250 posts (user title 6502 or higher) and membership for at least 6 months can access the Marketplace forum. Only users with a history of 100 posts can post in the Politics, Religion, Social Issues forum. If you start a "for sale" thread or political thread in another forum to avoid this rule, your thread will be deleted. Once you reach 100 or 250 posts, you may not immediately be able to post in these forums. The privilege is added automatically when the forum system does routine processing, so check again in a few hours. The delay is normal, so please do not contact us to report it as a problem on the same day that you reach 100 or 250 posts. When you first gain access to the Marketplace forum, you will see it in the Community section of the forums.

Can you not read ENGLISH or are you just spamming my topic? I'm NOT selling it on here, I am asking how much I should sell it for. I said I will sell it on ebay or craigslist. I also did not put a link to that so I am am simply asking how much I can get for it when I do sell it.

Neon green is pretty frackin' impossible to read on a white background.. :(
Sorry, I had to fix your post for you...I think you forgot a couple bits.
Also, you're not allowed to sell in ANY forum other than the Marketplace, which you'll get access to after you have BOTH 250 posts and 6months of time on the boards.

You should read the forum rules before spouting off like that... =\
http://guides.macrumors.com/Help:Forum_Rules
Rule 10 under "Minor Problems":
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, which is accessible only to qualified members and subject to additional rules; see the Marketplace Rules for details. Members not eligible for the Marketplace forum may not start threads elsewhere for such purposes.

green text on a white background is terribly difficult to read.
The macbook will probably need a new logic board. It might be worth selling for parts only.

No, but you are asking for a price estimation which is not allowed.

Then do I take it apart and sell all of the parts? Which parts are worth something?

Read what I added on to my post, namely the bold sections. That will piece together the issue with this thread pretty quickly.
