[Price Advice] Looking to sell my iMac, could do with a price quote

dutchah · Nov 20, 2012, 11:39 AM

Got a 2011 21.5 inch base iMac.
Quad i5 2.5 ghz, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD, 6750m, the whole shebang.

I love it but frankly, it's taking up a little too much space on my desk, combined with the fact that I could use a new laptop. So off to the second hand market with it I would say. I've always taken good care of it. Doesn't have any bumps or dents as far as I could tell, keyboard and trackpad are still working just fine. Just need to give the screen a good cleaning but otherwise, it's in great condition.

What should I be able to sell this for, in euros?

As a starting point, you can check Mac2Sell, eBay (including completed sales), or Amazon for prices of similar models, to get an idea of what a reasonable price may be. Then adjust the price to account for condition, configuration, remaining AppleCare coverage (if any), etc.

you can ask 580-600 euros, tops. Pretty base configuration you have there.Can go up based in the good care you said had done with the machine and if any Apple Care left.

If you sell through a online site, factor in shipping costs/fees
