I'm going to be getting ready to sell my previous 2011 Macbook Pro and trying to gauge a good selling price so i can cover some of the cost the rMBP I just purchased.

The specs are:

Early 2011 13.3" Macbook Pro
2.7GHz Dual Core i7
16GB of Ram
240GB Samsung EVO SSD
Optibay with the original 500GB HDD

As for the OptiBay problems with the 2011 MBP, I did my research and the problem was some 2011 MacBook Pros didn't support 6Gb/s in the optical Drive Slot (some only supported 3Gb/s), however, the logic board that was replaced in the repair (Listed Below) did.

Also, I have all of the original Packaging and Restore discs along with the original optical drive that was removed.

I recently in November took it to the apple store and had the send away repair because the MagSafe charging adapter stopped working. They replaced the following.

New Battery
Replaced Logic Board
New MagSafe Connector
New Bottom Case
New Trackpad

Do these Repairs help my sale price at all? How much am i looking at in total value for this machine?

Thanks in advance!
