As a starting point, you can check Mac2Sell, eBay (including completed sales), and 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 also check the Apple refurbished store to see what similar models are selling for, then adjust prices as necessary, considering the refurb store will not carry Macs as old as yours.

Selling

So, if selling my MacBook (to Gazelle or private party), what are the steps to insure none of my personal data remains on the drive or in memory? How do I thoroughly "Cleanse and purge" it?

Thanks.

Just follow this. When you get to the erase disk step you can follow this to do a secure erase of the disk if want to make sure nobody can recover data.
