Sounds pretty cheap, even if it's totally stock! If it's in good condition it sounds like a winner. My Early '08 was $300 on eBay, though it's a Black model without chips. Bit of a hard find.
Even my Late '08 I sold for $500 last December (2.4GHz/SSD).
So for $220 without tax, pretty good.

Add 16GB RAM and a 250/500GB SSD and'll you have a computer for the next 4 years. Its 320M GPU has practically the same performance as a HD3000 and in some tasks (e.g. computing stuff with CUDA vs. OpenCL in some apps) it outperforms HD 4000. There's a hacked nVidia driver in the Macbook Pro forum which enables CUDA in Mavericks + "old" GPUs like the 320M.
If you don't need dealing with videos, big raw pictures or some specific statistical or academic application, you can live with "just" 8GB.

Thanks for all the info! I will at more ram as soon as I get home from vacation. I dude was 45 mins late so I told him he needed to take a 20 off of the price and he did so I got it for 200! So far it is great just needs some cleaning up. Thanks again.
