Any Idea how much i could sell my Mac Pro for?

[piggy123]

Hi All

I purchased my Mac Pro in March of this year and unfortunately though I love every piece of that machine and it has been flawless I am thinking of selling it - TO be honest I don't really need all that power so I am hoping I can sell the Mac and get an iMac and a 13inch Macbook Pro instead. Anyway does anyone have an idea as to how much I would get for this spec Mac in the UK and any tips on the best place to sell would be greatly appreciated

2 x 2.66ghz cpu
12gb ddr3 ram
2 x 1TB hdd
2x superdrive
Airport Extreme card
Ati 4870

In mint condition and I also have the magic mouse, apple bluetooth keyboard and 2 1/2 years applecare.

Thanks in advance for any help

Edit: I am in the UK too

Thanks for the reply - Some pretty lame rules they have there, I completely understand for people selling or buying but having to have 250 posts and registered for 180 days is a bit much for some advice on where I can sell my Mac! I have looked on eBay and I can't find any recent machines of similar spec, people only seem to be selling older ones, and there are no refurbished ones on the apple store and mac2sell says my mac is work £1000! I hope it hasn't dropped £3 grand on it's price already

I get 2080 GBP for your model.
But I could only enter 9999MB RAM, as they don't allow more in the entry field.
So maybe you can get 2200 GBP or more.

Well I think I am going to try and sell it for £4000 regardless, it was £4800 2 months ago, and it's in mint condition so £2200 seems crazy. But thanks for your help
